Room Framing – Steel (no longer applicable)

The updated design (shown here) features a slightly extended wall length, allowing the floor joists to run in a different direction, eliminating the need for the steel cantilever.

Lift the steel cantilever into place.

Clamp and strap the end to ensure it stays put.

Align the end of the steel cantilever with the steel bracket, then fasten it to the wall by screwing through the welded brackets.

Add strapping to the wall framing, then drill and bolt the steel cantilever through the double top plates. Torque (65 lb-ft) and mark the fasteners.
