Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice regarding adding some storage to my garage (separate from the house)
It has a Saltbox style roof which gives a lot of 'wasted' space above the garage door (taller end) which I would like to use for storage of some general tat (camping gear, a few garden tools etc etc)
As it is brick walls both sides my idea was to use some face hangers either side attached to the brickwork with some timber across the span. Width is usual garage size so somewhere around 3m
My questions are:
What size and grade of timber should I be using? I guess treated C16
Can I get away with a span of that length unsupported (guess that depends on the timber used)
Anything else I should be aware of?
Thank you
