Screw Joists Together at Helen Hickman blog

Screw Joists Together. if you are installing only one sister joist, you can use #12 or #16 sinker nails to connect the sister using the same pattern. These problems must be addressed firsthand prior to implementing any restoration steps. usually, bolts or lag screws are used to connect the sandwiching boards to the joists, especially if the joint is not supported. sistering a deck joist is the process of adding a new joist next to an existing joist to provide additional support. most often floor joists need to be sistered because of two problems, either water damage which leads to rot or termite damage that crumbled the joist. If you have sagging, cracked or twisted joists, which can happen in older houses, this project will provide the extra support the floor needs. In this situation, the screws are only really there to hold things together while the glue cures, after that it's the glue that's doing the work and the screws are not longer needed. joining deck joists together is done using special timber screws, possibly lag bolts, or even through bolts. the only advantage to screws is that they can double as clamps if you're gluing the sistered joists together (which is a good idea in many cases).
