ABSTRACT:
A rim tie connection for building structures including a wood post member, first and second wood rim members and a sheet metal connector. One specialized use of the rim tie connection is in constructing the floor support framing in gazebo structures. In such structures the wood post member is generally in a vertical position and the wood rim members are in a generally horizontal position. The sheet metal connector ties the ends of the wood rim members together and to the wood post member. The sheet metal connector includes a seat member, for holding the wood rim members and a back member for attachment to the front face of the wood post member. Floor boards attached to and supported by the wood rim members need not be notched to fit around the post member as in prior practice.
