- See General Notes for Straps and Ties.
- Posts and beams may consist of multiple members provided they are connected independently of the strap fasteners.
- PS loads are per part (not pair). Loads are based on perpendicular-to-grain loading in the beam and parallel-to-grain loading in the post and assume a minimum member thickness of 3 1/2". PS straps must be positioned such that bolt end and edge distances meet NDS minimum requirements.
