I live on the North Coast of Calif. I usually space my ledger out with
plastic conduit cut in 3/4" pieces.....I usually set this up on saw horses
with pre-drilled holes, joist hangers, etc.....and the plastic spacers on
back tacked on with staples or bent over small finishing nails.... I use
stainless staples with the pneumatic gun mostly but a person can do it other
ways......
You can thru bolt into the wall also for security or 2nd story applications.
I usually put thru bolts in every other spot just to make sure it stays.....
Concrete anchors will work fine though.....
The day and age of liability has jacked up the hardware in most
construction.

I am building a PT deck attached to my house and have a question about
attaching the deck ledger board. Most everything I have read talks
about connecting it to wood, not concrete.

Here's what I was thinking of doing. All my joists are going to be
2x8, so I was going to use 2x10 for the ledger board. I am going to
run 2 lapping strips of Grace Vycor ledger/flashing (it is like ice/
water shield, only 9" wide) under the siding and ledger board. Then I
am going to drill into the concrete and use 1/2"x5.5" RedHead wedge
(hot dipped galvanized) anchors--2 of them in every other joist bay
(16" OC). Next I was going to use vinyl deck ledger flashing since I
have heard that aluminum won't last well with the PT.

I want to do this right and have it last...am I on the right track?
