epsilonGreedy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Although @ToughButterCupwas asking about rim wallplate I found an answer about minimum lengths for regular wall plates on the NHBC technical site. The minimum run should be 3 meters or supporting 3 trusses as already mentioned above. https://nhbc-standards.co.uk/7-roofs/7-2-pitched-roofs/7-2-6-wall-plates/ Quote "a minimum of 3m or extend over at least three joists, rafters or trusses" The same page also mentions a minimum thickness of 38mm timber whereas my technical drawings say 75mm and also above @PeterWsays 4x3 is becoming the norm.
