Installed collar ties/collar beams today on this beautiful sunroom. The beams provide support against upward wind drafts and downward snow loads throughout the roof system. We incorporate collars in every build no matter how big or small the roof system.
These beams are required by code in high wind zones such as the beach or at higher elevations. The local inspectors appreciate the over build since they are not required in this region. They ensure that each side of the beam is attached to the rafter with no less than specifically three fasteners.
