Engineered Lumber Exposed to weather
Engineered Lumber Exposed to weather
(OP)
I have a project that uses parallam floor beams, TJI floor joists and OSB floor sheathing which has been exposed to a large amount of wet weather in the SF bay area.
Usually I require structrual members to be primed with a sealer if it occurs during the winter wet months, because I have had some past problems with swelling of parallams, osb etc...
Anyone have some advice on evaluating, dealing with, these conditions.

Regarding the OSB, if it is delaminated anywhere, discard it, or use it for non-structural sheathing.
