Are the 'stringers' going to cantilever any distance? I think you should be fine. I don't know of any engineering charts for that type of structure since there is basically no load. The closest may be a chart for ceiling or even rafter joists but they account for a load. Do you want this structure to looks good too? If so the way you want to install the 'stringers' may look the best but by doubling them up without spacers and setting them right on top of the posts will be stronger and help prevent twisting. -------------------- ...

The wood back to back is stronger because it sits on the post. The other method relies on the shear strengh of the fasteners. Since you are not putting much load on it the method you suggest will work. However I am uncertain about sag. Let's see what 2X thinks. He may have more experience with this type of structure. For sure it would look better your way Drak, and looks has a big factor in that type of structure. Another thought is use a single 2 X 10 or 2 X 12 to prevent sag. -------------------- ...

I see this thread is intellectually stimulating enough to bring you out of the woodwork.Close. Latin. [ 06-02-2005: Message edited by: Flux ] --------------------
