I`m looking for a connection detail that can be used for connecting a roof access ladder to 2x6 stud wall with brick veneer.
I would like to use L3x3x3/8 angle brackets spaced at 6ft apart with Ø1/2 through bolts.
My main concern is a wood blocking detail to provide adequate support for the anchorage.
Can you guys suggest a solution that you have used before in similar case?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ron - That is a good point. The openings in the veneer should be fixed with polyurethane sealant although having angles penetrating the wall might be tough to do.
I might need to go with 3/8" flat bar instead of angles.

 
Keep in mind that the waterproofing is 1-2" behind the brick on the back side of the cavity. To get sealant back there as you insert fasteners will be difficult. Will need a nozzle to get back there as you insert the fasteners.
