WWilts Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 New build in progress, hip roof. For various reasons, one of the hip rafters is spliced (pic). Can D4 glue be sufficient for such a splice? Builder thinks so. Alternative is a steel plate, but that would involve rewinding & redoing a few steps. Trying to gauge how hard to push the builder on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 That is a common solution, although it’s a bit poorly cut. A piece of of 18mm ply either side covered in glue and screwed will be more than adequate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
