Make Sure You Use the Right Screws for Construction Hangers
This video discusses the importance of using the right screws for construction hangers, particularly in the context of patio covers. The speaker emphasizes that using screws that are not approved by the manufacturer or building department can lead to problems down the road, such as the structure not being permitted.
Also provides some tips for choosing the right screws, such as checking with the manufacturer of the product you are using and purchasing screws and nails from a reputable source.
Here are some bonus tips for choosing the right screws for construction hangers:
Consider the weight of the structure that will be supported by the hangers. Heavier structures will require stronger screws.
Choose screws that are made from a durable material, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel.
Make sure that the screws are the correct length for the application.
Use a pilot hole to prevent the screws from stripping.
Tighten the screws securely, but do not overtighten them.
