A guy at the lumber yard in Tacoma told me I was wrong to use a 4-inch nail for that deck ledger board.

My inspector in Bellingham said 3-inch galvanized nails are the code minimum for that.

It's funny how many rules are just local tradition dressed up as law.

Three-inch nails sounds like overkill for most jobs. That Bellingham inspector must really hate wobbly decks. Hope your lumber is up for it, milam48.
