Been thinking about sorting out my garage roof and merging two garages.
Trouble is I will end up with a 5.5m (long) x 6.6m (wide) structure so am thinking of doing a plain single lean (lean-to/shed type) roof.
I was thinking of using multiple 47x100mm lengths. They are 3.5m (in wickes). Obviously they would require joining to to one full span of 5.5m, and I think they will be strong enough (still in theory stage at the moment ) they will obviously sit sideways.
One way I can think of is too use two lengths that I was too join then cut another one to bolt in parallel to the middle and bolted/screwed in multiple places.
Ive also seen nail plates used but im not sure of their strength?
The roof would have to handle (bitumen) corrugated sheets which are lite, but would be desirable that I could crawl over it so be able to handle the weight of a person.
Im not experienced so would like to ask you guys rather than find out after doing!!
Cheers
