An acquaintance just had a typical Pole Barn framed... 6x6 CCA .60 posts, treated bottom girt,regular untreated purlins, girts, and trusses.
Still confirming, but there is evidence that the builder used Brite nails, NOT Hot Galvanized.
Frame is still open, steel sheeting not yet installed... so ALL connections are still totally accessible.
What now?
Maybe, not sure yet, that the Brite nails were ONLY used on the NON treated connections.. basically just the truss purlins... but even then.. in a pole barn possibly damp location.. condensation possible etc.. wouldn't a prudent builder use the Galv there also ?
Is there Code on the above question?
So, ya... What now ?
