Can somebody tell me how many acros i will need to support the ceiling when installing an rsj over a span of 2m.This is in bedroom for an ensuite.

You will need to find the loading first, followed by the max bearing weight of the proposed (acro) prop.
For instance if the loading was say 2kN/m/run then the prop should be able to at least bear that safely

Four - two per side of the wall

And you may need four for downstairs too, depending on what you are supporting

agree with woodster, the span maybe 2m but you end up knocking out a bit more when dealing with end bearings and a little play.
