Thanks man best explanation on RUclips. Do you put onr on each side or a single one is enough?

[@HunterHunter93]

@@llxzii7791 yeah exactly

Thanks!

[@jeredmattson9]

if you have a joist that’s not sitting on beam, do you force it down and attach clip or do you shim it and attach clip? thanks!

[@garyferguson1552]

Can these replace blocking?

[@coversanddecks]

No

[@drumswest5035]

Correct, the clips are to prevent uplift, blocking is to stop the joist for racking (shear).
