ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for attaching a deck to a building. The apparatus and method disclose a deck bracket with an L shaped bracket, a solid bar, preferably threaded at both ends, and a sheath which would surround a support member of the building. The solid bar could be of various lengths, depending upon the structure to which it will be attached. The L shaped bracket has a support piece fixedly attached to the back side of its long, vertical side, and has a threaded bore through the support piece and L shaped bracket, with which to accept one of the threaded ends of the solid bar. The short, horizontal side of the L shaped bracket would hold one or more of the deck rim joists or deck supporting beams. The solid bar would thus extend into holes drilled into a various support members of the house or like structure, around one of those support members would be the sheath, thus allowing a portion of the load of the deck to be transferred to the building structure, and also allowing for a space to exist between the deck and the building so as to prevent the accumulation of moisture and thereby preventing the decay of either the building or deck structures at the point of attachment.
