Ideas For Reinforcing Bottom Stringer Connection To Wood Beam - Building Repairs

[@HamidA-to8vy]

Your channels are unique and valuable and deserves much recognition. It helps a lot. Regarding the hangers pass over the landing and cannot be nailed completely . A block can ba added over the landing and between the stringers, so the load will be passed to the block then to the landing

Yes, sometimes you can transfer loads with blocks.

Used 2x6 hangers on 6 step stringers attached to a 4x6 beam, inspector didn’t like it. Said that the 2x6 hanger was undersized.

Use a inverted hanger to secure strainers.

What about anchoring the wall-side stringer to the brick with heavy masonry anchors, say, every 24" (assuming brick is structural)?

[@stairbuilding]

I think that would help, but as you pointed out, it might not work as the best structural connection.

what if you put spacers for each screw (nuts or washers) between the support board and the beam? that would remove the water problem right? you could run bolts spaced out between the board and the beam.

Absolutely, you could put some type spacers in between to allow water to drain and air to circulate. Great idea and thanks for sharing.
