• Posted in thread: H shealthing clips--1/2 inch for 7/16 OSB on 03-28-2011 at 10:23 AM
  Are H-clips intended only for the roof and not for side shealthing? I read that they are for
  both so I intended to use them for both the sides and the roof. I had wanted to use 14.5" long
  2x4 spacers ...

  I have never seen true 1/2 inch plywood or OSB at HD or anywhere.Only MDF or particle board is
  true dimension thickness, ie nominal and actual are the same. At HD, it says 7/16 OSB.

  Home Depot does not sell 7/16 H clips for 7/16 OSB. They only have 1/2 inch.Would 1/2 inch be
  too loose for 7/16 OSB?

  HD sells 2x4s for king studs labeled as 92 1/4 inches.Is 92 1/4 too short? King stud should be

  ThanksI have decided to not use wedge expansion anchor and to use L shape cast in bolts. 0.5
  inch and 6 inches long. I will leave 2.25 inch up. I figure 1.5 inch for the PT 2x4 leaving

  I just realize that may be pouring in just a small amount of epoxy, as little has half a
  teaspoonful, into the anchor hole and then tighten will greatly strengthen the bolts. It won't
  loosen.
