J4mes Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Would this set up work and resist roof spread in a small outbuilding with a hip roof on all sides? Building is only 3m x 4.8m. Wall plate is at 2.2m and wanted to get a bit of extra head height, would be installing rafter ties 200mm above wall plate. If it has the potential to case issues then we will just go with ties/ ceiling joists attached to the wall plate as usual and live with the lower head height.

Mike Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Yes, it can certainly be done, but you'll need a structural engineer / truss company for the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
