3X6” tie-plates (22 qty).
These are flat plates with holes drilled through them. Used for assembling truss halves and tying sill plates together.
Simpson Strong-Tie ZMAX Hurricane Tie model #H2.5AZ. (16 qty)
Used to anchor trusses
5lb boxes of 2” coarse thread screws. (x3)
5lb boxes of 3” coarse thread screws. (3)
Can be silver, gold, or coated. Primeguard coated are best as our wood is pressure treated. Please do not get deck screws as they are too thick for our applications. Also please avoid drywall screws.
10 qty. 1/8” drill bits.
6 qty. Bit tip extensions.
One, 1lb box N8DHDG 1 ½” nails for mending plates
Multiply all these by 2 so we can finish both chapels!
