Hello all,

I’m wanting to build a covered entry for a new building like the one Gary Katz built on https://www.finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/siding-exterior-trim/building-craftsman-style-brackets. The article mentions securing the brackets to 4×4 backing, but I have not been able to find any more information on exactly what is required for backing in the wall framing.

Does anyone know where I could find more information on what is required for supporting the brackets? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
