Lateral Load Connection
This is a lateral load connection device that achieves an acceptable lateral load connection between the deck and primary structure (house) with the installation of surface-mounted hold-down connection devices. These devices are spread out along the length of the ledger and do not require opening up the interior wall or ceiling spaces nearby. They provide a positive connection to the floor framing in order to resist the lateral loads. This is applicable where floor joists are parallel to deck joists (2021 IRC R507.9.2.1).
