Chose a 4-inch lag bolt over a 3-inch for a tricky deck ledger and it held through the storm last night.
I was worried about the extra torque on the old rim joist, but the longer bite into the house framing made all the difference, so what's your go-to for securing a ledger on questionable wood?

I always went shorter, but your post convinced me to size up for old wood.
