Ledger board bracket

摘要

A ledger board bracket includes a ledger board receiving section defined having a channel extending along its length to provide an offset between a ledger board and a building when the ledger board is mounted to the building in connection with installation of a deck. An integral flange may be incorporated to help direct water away from entering the channel. A joist hanger may be implemented on a front surface of the ledger board bracket to enable the ledger board bracket to implement a combination ledger board and joist hanger bracket. Apertures may be provided in the bracket to enable fasteners to pass through the bracket in connection with mounting the ledger board to the building and in connection with securing the joists to the ledger board.

1. A ledger board bracket, comprising:
a ledger board channel formed from front, lower, and rear sections which form a first trough that is open on the top, left, and right sides of the ledger board bracket, the ledger board channel being adapted to receive a ledger board when a length of the ledger board is oriented horizontally; and an air circulation channel extending from top to bottom along the rear section of the ledger board channel, the air circulation channel including side walls which form a vertically oriented channel that is open on the top, bottom, and rear sides of the ledger board bracket; and a top flashing configured to help direct water away from entering the air circulation channel, and wherein the air circulation channel is vertically oriented so that any water that does enter the air circulation channel is able to drip out of the air circulation channel without pooling within the air circulation channel.
