I have an existing house that wants to add a patio area and build a "new"
roof over it. The "new" roof will be approx. 24 ft. long by 19 ft. wide.
The plans indicate 4 - separate 4" x 4" wood columns to be installed for
support of the span.
QUESTION: Is there somewhere in the IRC that requires anchorage
to the foundation ( i.e. - some type of anchorage device / components )
if there is no clear indication that the vertical columns / posts will be
installed sub-grade? I'm looking for a code section to refer the builder to!
Thanks for any input!
