17. INSTALLING A TROUGH OVER A DOUBLE OR TRIPLE BEAM » Caulk between each beam to ensure a water tight seal between the beams. » Cover the top of the beam with the trough material that overlaps into both adjacent bays. Tape seams and trough material where screw penetration may occur. » Tape over the top of the triple beam and trough material that sits on top of the beam. NOTE: All wood must be covered with trough material and taped wherever decking will be screwed. If installing a post in this location, consult with the local building code official prior to installation to ensure all code and safety requirements are met.
