I would appreciate some help! I am planning on building a 1 3/4 cottage style house (due to planning restrictions.) The inner block work will rise approx 1 metre above the ceiling joists so the rafters will need to rest on the wallplate with no lateral tie. The property will have dormer windows and is 10metres by 7.5 metres with 45 degree roof pitch. The gable ends will be masonry.
Will I need to use an strengthed extended truss method or can I still use ridge boards and purlins?
Are there other possibities which will give me the open roof space and ridgidity??
Many thanks!
