Splicing Wood Columns / Posts
(OP)
I'm designing a two story deck for a client. The column height is about 20' high, and I know that a wood post of this height will not be able to be purchased.
I'm not sure about the best way to splice this connection. I'm going to place the splice at the highest point possible to reduce compressive load at the connection. I'm not exactly sure of a good detail to use for this connection.
Any help or reference to applicable literature would be great.
Thanks,
Ryan

You could also use a treated glulam. It is my uderstanding that the manufacture of paralam is no longer permitting the product to be pressure treated. However, I would check with a local supplier as there is a chance that they still have some in inventory.
