Exactly, two of those at each connection between the beam and the rafter. But preferably use 4 per connection, spreads the forces better, counteracts twisting, and it's more favorable with half the amount of anchor nails on each part.jonaslatt said:
Have you calculated how it should be nailed? How many nails and nail pattern?
Or anchor nail.
I want to warn against anchor screws from unknown and unrecognized brands. Personally, I have discovered that Biltema's anchor screws do not measure up; they sometimes break immediately when you screw them in. It’s easy to realize how unfortunate it is for this screw to be the one ensuring your house doesn't collapse. :eek:
And I’m not the only one who has found Biltema's anchor screws unreliable; you can find more “reports” in the forum.
Moreover, Gunnebo's anchor screws, for example, are as expensive as drugs, while their anchor nails are reasonably priced. So my own solution when assembling, for example, roof trusses, has been to initially screw with a cheap anchor screw from Byggmax or Biltema, one screw per joint, and then proceed to nail the rest with Gunnebo or Kartros nails once the parts are secured with a single screw.
