5ply built up Wood colum
5ply built up Wood colum
(OP)
I am trying to find a nailing pattern for my 5ply 2x6 built-up wood column. According to NDS 15.3.3.1 b) all nails have to penetrate all my laminations and at least 3/4 of my outermost lamination. For my 5ply wood column the nail should have a length of at least 7.125" but the maximum size of a common nail, 60D, is 6in. Should I use bolts to attach my plies together? I heard is an expensive option. Should I use a stronger species thus reducing my number of plies? What would be the best option for my case?
Thanks,

Celt83,
If I may ask, what nailing pattern do you use to attach the 4ply gang post?
Thanks,
