Hi,
I'm the process of building a new conservatory and C16 rafters have been specified but I would like to consider having exposed rafter tails, in which case I thought of using oak rafters instead.
I would keep to the same size of rafters but if I do does the oak have to be graded and if so what is the equivalent grade or would it just be assumed that size for size oak rafters would outperform C16 softwood?
Thanks.
