Angle screwing

but with screws then, sometimes another one might be needed. just to keep the rule from twisting.

Thank you for a concrete answer.
So, a screw from each side, or what does crossing mean? Is it screwed in the middle or towards the edge of the beam?

1 screw on each side of the standing beam into the sill and header.
Offset slightly from the middle so the screw doesn’t collide.

If I want to use pocket screws on 45x95 studs, how many screws should I use per stud, and how long should they be? Assume pocket screws are the only possible option and my life depends on finding out the answer. No other options exist, and all nails are also gone. Thanks in advance.

I say it's enough for the studs to just hold together when you raise them, so a 50mm long deck screw at each end is more than sufficient.

And if you run out of screws, tape might work

Why do you need to angle screw? It's so much better to screw through the sill/binder if it's lying down anyway

let the man screw however he wants. he's surely thought it through in some way

Exactly what I meant

IF I want to skew screw 45x95 beams, how many screws should I use per beam and how long should they be? Suppose skew screwing is the only possible option and my life depends on finding out the answer. There are no other alternatives and all nails are also out. Thank you in advance.

Great start on byggahus, not even up to 100 posts, and yet already at odds with a forum god, that's quick work! Or at odds is the wrong word, you've rather snapped back at him! Okay, if it's like in certain threads where people keep nagging about certain things that you've said thanks but no thanks to. However, here it was actually just a small tip that you have the right to dismiss, but the way you do it probably doesn't help you directly!

Minimum two screws.
Doesn't matter much from which direction.
More important that they are at the edges of the beam so it doesn't twist.

I think it's funny that the studio has decided to do it in a certain way.
Then it should be done that way.

Couldn't help but ask. Difference if you do it standing, then you have no alternatives! But if you do it on the ground you have more options, why take the worse one? but we are all different

there are those who install with angles too

Good start on byggahus not even up to 100 posts, and despite that, already at odds with a forum god that's quick work! Or at odds is the wrong word you have rather snapped at him! Okay if it's like in certain threads people who keep nagging about certain things that you've said thanks but no thanks to. However, here it was actually just a little tip that you have the right to dismiss, but the way you do it probably doesn't help you directly!

Yes, now I've really messed up.

 

[SBH]

Yes, now I've really made a fool of myself.

no. you just stood your ground. just get screws and boards now.
good luck

Refreshing thread this. Really. God alone or the forum god himself I'm an atheist. The original poster has been quite clear from the start. So I have to say what I say to decision-makers in general when they hesitate. "Answer the question instead."

so you wouldn't want tips on a cheaper and better alternative?

Ha-ha

Yes, it's actually really annoying when you ask a simple straightforward question and people start questioning and giving lots of other suggestions instead, and no one answers the question you asked.

But it's also quite thankless to snap at those who still take the time to try to help in their, albeit somewhat awkward, way. Ignoring them instead is my suggestion and focus on the question, ask it again if necessary.

That's what I did in another forum when I asked a question there. There was some forum god there who was unusually persistent with seemingly irrelevant questions and became mightily annoyed when I didn't answer his questions at all. So when he eventually got rude to me for not caring about his questions, I asked him to provide any advice he had instead and drop his rude attitude. Then chaos ensued. In that forum, apparently, you were obliged to first answer all imaginable questions everyone else had about things related to your own question, and if you didn't, you were considered odd. Those who, however, ignored answering the original question were, for some reason, not considered odd. When people demand that you as the original poster should answer "off-topic" questions from those who haven't even made the slightest effort to answer the original question, then it's gone way overboard. I have never seen it that bad here on byggahus, fortunately.

So yes, I fully understand the original poster's frustration. My only advice is, don't respond, ignore, possibly rephrase the original question.

I'm no longer a member of that other forum.
