Oak Truss Size Detail?
No sure if this is the correct group to be posting on but I’m changing a couple of softwood trusses to Oak hardwood. They are exposed trusses.
Same dimensions for span(8073mm) and height(2352mm) etc but does the thickness of the oak wood itself have to change and if so by how much?
I prefer Douglas Fir for this sort of stuff and it doesn’t need stainless fixings. Also easier to get in long straight lengths.
Will still set you back £2-2.5k each but slightly cheaper than oak.
