Apparatus and method for securing a deck or roof structure to a brick or siding veneered building structure
View Patent ↗A joist or beam hanger for securing deck joist or roof beam ends to a brick or siding veneered wall of a building structure. A horizontal spaced series of apertures are provided in the brick or siding veneer and sized for respectively receiving deck joist or roof beam end brackets. The apertures are located at and expose the wall sill plate or top plate of the veneered building structure wall and the brackets have horizontally protruding sill flanges resting on top of the wall sill plate or top plate and lag screws secure the brackets to the wall and also directly to the sill plate or top plate. Floor joist or roof beam ends of a deck or roof structure are respectively secured to the joist or roof beam end brackets.
1 . A system comprising:
a building structure having a wall sill plate or a wall top plate; and
an adjustable joist or beam hanger securing one or more deck joist or roof beam ends to said building structure, the adjustable joist or beam hanger comprising:
a metal joist or beam end bracket consisting of a pair of parallel spaced vertical side plates joined together with a vertical back end plate and further including a bottom plate to thereby form a joist or beam end support pocket;
said vertical back end plate including multiple vertically spaced apertures configured to receive lag bolts to secure said end bracket to said building structure,
an L-shaped metal sill rest support flange having a vertical support plate adjustably secured to said vertical back end plate at multiple different vertical positions and having a rest portion thereof horizontally extending from said vertical support plate and away from said pocket and vertically pre-positioned and secured on said vertical back end plate such that said rest portion is positioned on a said wall sill plate or said wall top plate of said building structure; and
said vertical support plate of said sill rest support flange having at least one aperture receiving a respective said lag bolt therethrough securing said end bracket and said sill rest support flange to said wall sill plate or said wall top plate.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein said sill rest support flange having a vertical lip end portion that is securable to said vertical back end plate.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein a portion of said sill rest support flange extends through one of multiple vertically spaced horizontal slots provided in said vertical back end plate, and said vertical lip end portion is secured to said vertical back end plate with one or more of said lag bolts.
4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein said vertical lip end portion is welded to said vertical back end plate.
