![]() ![]() ![]() I know you're carrying everything in on you back, and the thought of changing the plan now and carrying more than you have to- cringe!. Or, you could bring in additional rafters, say 2x8"s or 10"s and sister them to what you already have. And if it exceeds what you already have up there, I'd beef it up by doubling ALL the rafters and moving them closer together say 12" o.c. I'd look online for a rafter span calculator based on your snow load and find the recommended rafter size. I’m going to use a metal roof, but snow is a big worry up there in the temperate rainforest it can really dump wet snow. No, and I was thinking about laying the rafters out in this pattern but doubling some up. If I did my quick math correctly my concern would be on the rafter span of 10'(?), 4/12 pitch (?) and the snow loads you'll likely encounter and only using 2圆's. If you layout your roof rafters directly over your wall studs, the top plate really shouldn't be an issue as the load will transfer straight down through wall studs. I’ll add a picture of the framing so you get a sense of the shape □ It’s 2圆 rafters 12” OC spanning 10’ feet, and the same spanning 4 feet for the porch and vestibule. It’s a roof like the Adirondack type shelter pictured below. Is this a single slope roof spaning 14' useing 2圆 for roof rafters? I hope that’s clear enough, I’ll attach a pic of the wall, any help appreciated. My question is should my top plate have been a double 2圆 beam or will my 2x4 top plate suffice? I’m building a 14x14 cabin, I did a supporting wall at 10’, to support the roof and porch rafters, I have a normal 2x4 double top plate and was going to notch the 2圆 rafters and have them meet ontop and put a rafter strap ontop.
