[Alberg30] Beck Beam Details

[Hansen, Richard D LTC Student]

Deck Beam article suggests purchasing 1/4 Stainless Steel Bolts to secure
plates to beam.  Two questions:
1. What length of bolts...6 inches?
2. Where can one buy them (Lowes and H-Depot sell only galvanized)?
Thanks

You should jack it up until the curve profile of the existing beam matches
that of the aluminum reinforcement plates. I am having a hard time
understanding what the piece of wood is/does that you describe. Sounds like
something that was added and will need to be removed before the plates can
be installed.
