A ledger (also called a sill plate or rim joist) is typically a horizontal board that is bolted or anchored to the building's foundation walls. Floor joists are then attached to the ledger, providing support for the subfloor. This is a common method used in wood-framed construction to provide a stable connection between the wood framing and the concrete foundation.
