RE: Outdoor Kitchen Build - Part 4 - Purlins 📝+🎥
probably a silly question, but do you nail the purlins on only one side of the simpson bracket? and do you use 3 nails for each purlin?

Not a silly question at all! The brackets have 5 holes for nails to go into the purlins. I only used 4--2 on each side. I was concerned the 5th could crack the wood as the holes were close together. The brackets have 2 holes on one side, and 3 on the other.
