Joining floor joists 50x200 with nail plates

the trusses are already in place

Attach the plates pbs to the longer beam before lifting them up, so it should be fairly easy to fit the shorter beam afterward. Push in the beam, clamp the plates with the shorter beam in between using a quick clamp. Check to ensure everything is straight and neat, screw in a few anchor screws for an initial fixation.

Yes, the 5cm shift can complicate things.
Especially if you're trying to maximize the width for the roof trusses with 1200mm in each section. Then it gets a little complicated when the flooring joists don't align with where you want to lay the floor particleboard, etc.

High-quality particleboard doesn't need to be joined over the beams?

Nor do floorboards that are tongue-and-groove on all sides.

 

[Mikael_L]

It's true. Even though the perfectionist in me always tries to get the joints even.

Isn't it possible to lay the floor chipboard at 90 degrees to the joists instead?

 

[KnockOnWood]

Micke64, you always do that, unless you're a "fuskbyggare"

 

[Micke64]

thank you.

Have placed all the long beams now. Holding and measuring and cutting the short ones.

 

[moonlightfarmer]

Use 12-15 anchor nails at each end of the joint. It feels very rigid anyway.

 

[Micke64]

That looks really good

Cross between the battens on each side of the beam if you want to reduce flex (and creaking)...

Yes, or significantly simpler to glue-screw noggings in the same dimension as the joists, gives the same effect.

Have finished splicing now, time to lay them correctly on cc 600
