Hi,
I am in the early planning stages of rear extension, it will be entirely self built
I am keen to build the walls out of timber (6x2 stick frame), the proposed dimensions are 6000 L x 6500 W.
I have built a couple of flat roofs before (e.g. for a garden office and shed), so i am looking at doing the same (4-5 degree pitch).
to help manage the roof build up, i am considering using a RSJ/UC so i can span the joists from the beam at the mid point (the other thought is to use Glulam).
If the wall is made up of a stick frame, is it possible to rest the steel on the frame (with suitable cripple studs), the weight on either end should be around 75-100kgs?
i will be using a SE over time, but i am keen to resolve some of the key constraints as early as possible.
Thanks in advanc
