    is there an alternative way of joining COMMON rafters to the wall plate on a concrete garage rather that the conventional way of cutting birdsmouth?
    i have seen some 'simspon hangers' but not sure has anyone used the
    20 x 15 ft garage(15ft is wer the span for rafters is)

    On my garage, I bolted big 90 degree brackets into top of wall and bolted rafters to this. No need for a wallplate either. Easy and quick.

    Is this a flat roof?
    Op is talking about avoiding cutting the birdsmouth from rafters for a pitched roof.

    Its a low pitch. Photo is deceptive as rafter has a seat cut. Principal is the same though.
