HaHa, that is a good one.
I wonder thou, what is use #105?

Absolutely! In the OP, I said I held it in place w/ the winch while I ran around and replaced the bracing. There was bracing on there initially, but after that wind storm, it was just hanging off in all directions. I replaced nailed brace joints w/ 3" coarse deck screws this time around, as well as, adding additional bracing:Looks like you could use some diagonal bracing in the substructure.
That's what she said...what the hell are you talking about?needs more triangulation.
Pretty much the same...but it was nailed instead of screwed.lol, what bracing was there b4?
I think he's saying it would be stronger if your cross brace went from corner to corner. You went from the halfway point.That's what she said...what the hell are you talking about?
that could be a thread all on its own. we used a winch to lay down and stand up an industrial air compressor while moving a friends shop.I wonder thou, what is use #105?
I knew that was coming....needs more triangulation.
M'kay, the bracing IS from corner to corner on the north and south sides. That is, the sides to counter forces of a westerly wind. The positioning of my property in relationship to the Huachuca Mountains results in 99% westerly winds.I think he's saying it would be stronger if your cross brace went from corner to corner. You went from the halfway point.

Yeah, he's cool. But I'm not building a house, just shoring up the bracing on a kid's fort. I already went too far w/ this thing anyhow.
Hey Nat, about a month ago we had gusts up to 70 mph which did the initial damage. I didn't get off my butt in time to repair the bracing before 2-3 days of 50-55 mph gusts last week, which just racked the fort wicked bad.Nice Scott! How bad was it up there by you guys??
:ugogirl: I did that last night too lol.I performed some additional screwing at 45 degree angles on the backside also.![]()
