I’m looking for the best way to go about sistering joists working in the crawl space of a pier and post building. What’s the best way to get a new 2×6 along side an old 2×6 given that the old 2×6 is between some 4×6 girders and the sub floor? This is a structural engineering requirement for remodeling, so the new ones have to bear fully on the girders on both ends. The girders are 7′-5″ apart, and existing joists are on 16″ centers. This is in the middle of the building, plenty of room both sides of the girders.
Thanks —
