I’m working up a proposal using 2×8 rafters for a shed roof with a span of a little over 11′. I plan on using the angled hangers to attach to the ledger and birds mouth the other end. I looked in the simpson catalog and the LUS series (I think don’t have the notes in front of me) were rated for 2×6’s. is there one for a 2×8?
