Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of deck construction, and in particular
- Wooden decks are typically constructed of a number of parallel joists, a rim board, sheathing, and vertical posts supporting guard rails.
- the posts have been bolted directly to the face of the rim board or to the rear face of the rim board supported by cross-braces. In either case, due to the lever arm created by the distance from the guard rail to the attachment point of post on rim board, a pressure applied to the guard rail creates possible failure of the connection of the post to the rim board.
- Prior art methods of reinforcing the point of attachment of the post to the deck include an angle bracket fastened to the joist and rim board to reinforce the post attachment; multiple anchors secured to the joist and against which the rim board is tightened by bolts, and multiple layers of blocking fastened to the rim board by fasteners to reinforce the rim board.
- blocking is secured between the joists and a metal brace is fastened at one end to the blocking and at the other end to the post and rim board.
- the brace may be adjustable in length.
- the brace has a vertical piece attached to a plate which is secured to the post.
- the vertical element is attached to a sliding sleeve which slides on the brace to permit the placing of the post to be varied.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show prior art methods of attaching railing to wood decks.
- Fig. 3 is an elevation partly in cross-section on line A of Fig. 4 of the first brace element of the invention installed on a deck.
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the invention installed on a deck, with pickets and guard rail removed for purposes of illustration and the deck sheathing largely cut away and shown in phantom outline for purposes of illustration.
- Fig. 5 is an elevation partly in cross-section on line B of Fig. 4 of the second brace element of the invention installed on a deck.
- Fig. 6 is a detail of an alternate attachment for the brace element
- Fig. 7 is an elevation partly in cross-section on line B of Fig. 4 of an alternate embodiment of the brace element of the invention installed on a deck.
- Fig. 8 is a detail of an alternate attachment for the brace element
- a wooden deck 10 is constructed of a number of parallel joists 12, a fascia or rim board 14, sheathing 16, vertical posts 18, pickets 20, bottom rail 21 and guard rails 22.
- the posts 18 have been bolted directly to the face of the fascia or rim board 14 as shown in Fig. 1, or to the rear face of the rim board 14 supported by cross-braces 24 as shown in Fig. 2.
- a pressure applied to the guard rail creates possible failure of the connection of post 18 to the rim board 14.
- blocking 36 is secured between joists 12, such as by using framing anchors 37.
- a metal brace 38 having plates 40 secured at either end by welding or the like, is fastened at one end to reinforcing blocking 36 by plate 40 and screws 41 and at the other end to rim board 14 by plate 40 which also fastens the end of brace 38 to plate 42 by bolts 43.
- the lower horizontal end 19 of post 18 is secured to plate 42 by welding or the like to thereby secure post 18 to the rim board 14. This is preferable to attaching the railing posts to the surface of the deck which would penetrate the membrane.
- brace 38 now becomes the point of rotation when force is applied to the railing 22 in direction X, for a post 18 of height Y above sheathing 16 and Z above the brace 38, creating a more favourable lever arm which reduces the possibility of failure when pressure is applied to the guard rail 22.
- Adjustable metal brace 44 shown in Fig. 5 can also be used, with one end extending through a hole in joist 12 and being fastened to joist 12 by plate 46 to which it is secured by welding or the like, and at the other end plate 40 fastens the end of brace 44, to which it is secured, to rim board 14 and plate 40 by bolts 43. Plate 40 is thereby also secured to plate 42 to which the lower horizontal end 19 of post 18 is welded or otherwise fastened.
- the back plate 46 is arranged on the inside face of joist 12.
- Adjustable brace 44 is formed of telescopic elements with bar 45 telescoping within hollow bar 47 to thereby permit the length of brace 44 to be adjustable.
- the relative positions of bars 45, 47 can be fixed at the desired length by a setscrew or the like but the brace will also function without so fixing the length if the tolerance of the inner sliding bar 45 is sufficiently tight within bar 47.
- Fig. 7 shows a variant in which the post 18 is secured to sheathing 16.
- Adjustable brace 50 has a vertical piece 52 attached to plate 54 which is secured by bolts 70 to plate 42 which is in turn fastened to post 18.
- adjustable brace 50 is formed of telescopic elements with bar 51 telescoping within hollow bar 53 to thereby permit the length of brace 50 to be adjustable.
- the end of bar 51 extends through the center of blocking 36 and is fastened to plate 46 which in turn is screwed to blocking 36. In this way the attachment of post 18 is greatly strengthened by providing an opposing leverage.
- the relative positions of bars 51 , 53 can be fixed at the desired length by a setscrew or the like but the brace will also function without so fixing the length.
