Discuss. Would this help prevent the wind from getting up under the edge of the roof and ripping the entire thing off?
Would 11,000 lbs be sufficient per anchor point?
Assuming it's anchored well? Yeah it'll prevent "ripping the entire thing off." Will it probably fuck up individual shingles and cause other problems? Yeah.
>>2859199the wind will rip off your shingles and water will flood through your now broken roofalso it'll force its way through your windows and doors.
>>2859199Where is the Boomer HOA to get a fine for this shit!
>>2859199I do not know the straps are running the same direction as the joists so you are relying on the roof decking's shear strength, probably OSB. An improvement would be a some sort of load distributor under the straps spanning the gap or more, but that becomes a sail. Hmm maybe a few 2x4s nailed down like snow guards and the straps running perpendicular to the joists.
>>2859199should have atleast gotten an aesthetic color, like black
>>2859241This is a good idea. I was thinking this. Some 16 foot 2x4's running horizontally under multiple straps, maybe 4-8 of them.
>>2859199>yeah we are trying to contain our debris for easier cleanupthese people must from a city or another kind of big retard
>>2859199They assume the rooof comes off in one piece Usually it starts with ripping shingles off then partial bits of osb
>>2859296Yes but if you can prevent the wind from getting ahold of the soffit/eves area you can prevent a lot of damage, and subsequent damage inside the home from a total lack of roof
>>2859199Not using sticks and spit to hold everything together would have saved them.It's insane that mutts keep repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome, truly baffling.
>>2859199This is the stupidest possible way to anchor something with straps/wire. The ground Ancors will experience a significantly higher loading with the straps at an angle like this than had they been straight up and down at the base of the house.
>>2859199Do exactly that and be sure to slap it and say, "yea, that's going no where".
>>2859241yeah maybe put plywood under the 2x4 to spread the weight out a little more I think you'd want the anchor point rights below the lip or under the lip of the roof that way the strap is in contact with and distributing force along the entire length of the strap instead of the 2 points it's currently in contact with but I'd like.to hear someone else's opinion on that as I'm not an expert or even an amateur strapper.
>>2860145yeah the anchors could have been at the base and then the strap would be in contact with the roof the entire time as opposed to just 2 points
after studying the picture some more they actually are anchored at a proper angle and the straps do run along the entire length of the roof. I don't know why at first glance but it just looked like they weren't running along the roof and that the anchor was too far out
Any update on this?
>>2860145Isn’t this cancelled out by the fact that the anchors need to move proportionally more soil in order to rip out? Assuming they come out instead of break
Might help some
>>2860220Yeah, it worked out fine. If I remember, it's his father-in-laws house.
>>2861805i saw an update she didnt really show anything but you can see behind the womans and i doubt the neighborhood got more than rain
>>2860220It worked. But the city fined him.
