Hi.
I have made a roof with the velux openings.
Both trimmers and rafters have been doubled up.
I have screwed them together and used joist hangers where needed.
What is purpose of bolting them when the rafters run full span and the trimmers all sit in hangers?
I have screwed them with normal wood screws.
I can understand bolting when extending a joist but not in this case.
Maybe I'm being stupid.
Please enlighten me.
Thanks
