Best way to do end to end joints in 4 x 2 ? In other words to make
2 x 2.4's into a 4.8 ish length.


I was thinking either lap joint & glue & bolts or those spiky
washer things - joint doesn't have to be in line, just resist
deflection. Timber on edge.


Any thoughts?


Have you thought about using a 3.5m long nail?




Doh! Why didn't I think of that? Do Screwfix do them?


Nope but they have a subsidiary company...try

Which begs the question. Well I think it does anyway.
What size hammer would be needed to belt in a 2.5m long nail.
I am guessing that the hammer head would need to be about the same
size
as row of five 3 story terraced houses. But this is obviously not
based on scientific analysis.
