The intent of this <br />role, though not very clear, is to allow the attachment of awnings and carports to the sidewalls of <br />manufactured dwellings. <br /> <br />The proper attachment of an awning or carport should consist of the following: The awning or carpor~ <br />rall should be attached with lag screws directly to ~ch sidewall stud (studs are usually at 16" on center), <br />Attachment to the siding only is not acceptable and we do not to, commend attaching rails to sidewall top <br />plates. The single 1" top plates will easily split out from the lag screws and neither 1" or 2" manufactured <br />dwelling top plates are designed to transfer the roof live loads of the manufactured dwelling or the <br />awning/carport to the studs. To transfer the loads from tho sidewall studs to the ground, the current rules <br />suggest p~r'an, eter P. ior blocking at. 8' oi1 center, towever, n~wer <br />mmlufactur~'dwellmg~ and the nddxfional roof 10ad: ?om ~ awniaag/~it, 4* 'So cenmr would be more <br />appropriate. ,All other atIxchment~ should be made according to the awn/rig/carport manufacturer's <br />engineered plans w~th speoal attentxon prod to the top and bol~om post connections and ground anchor,. <br /> <br />Regarding your question of which takes pre, c, ed~ for the attachment of accessory slraetu~es to <br />manufactured dwellings (manufactured dwelling manufacturer's installation insm~etiom vs. Oregon <br />Specialty Codes), the. Oregon. Specialty Codes take pre~.xlence. <br /> <br />Thank you for bringing this iasue to my att~ntlo~ lWe ar, currently in the process of re-writing the <br />manufactured dwelling rules.~nd will attempt to make thi~ section more clear and more ~usar friendly." <br /> <br />PATRICK D.
