![]() I found it easier to insert the rafter if I attached the rafter hanger with two screws at one side, while leaving out the two screws at the other side until after the rafter was slipped into place. The LRUZ offers an economic alternative for those applications requiring a sloped hanger for rafter-to-ridge connections. I used the recommended Simpson Strong-Tie screws instead of nails. Shop Simpson Strong-Tie Single 2-in x 8-in 18-Gauge Zmax Angled Joist Hanger in the Joist Hangers department at Lowe's.com. The "Patio Cover" picture shows a view under the header between two support posts, and the purlin strips are visible overhead. The picture titled "Rafter Hanger at Eave" shows that the bottom of the rafter and lower portion of the rafter hanger are actually about an inch below the fascia strip.Īlso to increase head room, the purlin strips (2 x 4 lumber) were cut to fit between the rafters, rather than run across the top of the rafters. Note that the attachment holes are high up on the hanger, which permitted attachment to a fascia that was narrower than the rafter without compromising strength. The picture titled "Rafter Hanger at Header" shows that the roof sheets are flush with the top of the rafters and with the top of the header. Usually, rafters sit on top of a support header, but I butted the rafters into the header with the top of the rafter flush with the top of the header to increase head room underneath. The H1 is designed for nominal 2x lumber. The Strong-Tie LRU212Z reinforcing angle features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
