Note: 1. Compression values are obtained from compressive strength parallel and perpendicular to length. 2. Nails must have a diameter less than or equal to that of a 16d common nail. 3. Galvanized No.10 deck screw 2½ inches long. 4. Follow EverGrain installation instructions. Values shown are for reference only and are not meant for design analysis. Typical values obtained under ambient temperature conditions (70°F).
