PLAN DETAIL - 1 OF 2, FASTENING SCHEDULE
Fastening Schedule, in PDF
This fastening schedule is not common. Fastening schedules that the AG's laid eyes on are wimpy and incomplete. This one raises the bar.
Our fastening schedule is drawn from several sources, much from the splendid work in wind-resistant construction sponsored and published by the Texas State Department of Insurance. The AG's adapted that work, applied his own experience and sense of things and the contributions of a few others here and there to specify a wide-ranging schedule principally of nail (and some screw and adhesive) fastening both for wood and, lesser, for wallboard. Each construction phase is identified separately. Fastener options respect market-present options in both hand-hammered and power-hammered environments (you've got to up-compensate in power hammer-driven fasteners for the beefier hand-driven fasteners, in order to get comparable holds).
The AG knows of no more extensive fastening schedule in print. He's most proud of the last two sections of this sheet - the one dealing specifically with wallboard and the one directly addressing adequate fastening with nails. (The former came from idle conversation with a pro at National Gypsum; the latter came to the AG out of the blue after he'd looked for it for years. So nonlinear.)
Please note herein and throughout our plan set, abbreviations on the sheet are individually keyed on the sheet.
