Hip Roof Framing to Ledger on 90° Outside Corner

[Curtis Johnson]

Joey:

Yes, I looked at that one. With what looks to me like a fixed 90° degree angle allowable for the two rafters that would be used with this connector, I don't think this is a good option. Maybe I am not looking at it right?

If the HRC indeed isn't a good choice, I wonder if the LSU/LSSU hanger might be a better option?

Just curious, how would you specify the attachement of the common rafters to the ledger? Toe nailing? Some sort of hanger?

I did a small porch addition on my house (shed type roof) and used standard solid wood face mount joist hangers but I cut a small notch in the rafters so they would fit flush on the bottoms of the hangers.

Thanks.
