Have a question in regards to a loft conversion with a truss roof.
Instead of steels being installed length ways between gable ends, then joists between them and supporting the roof (I think this is the normal way?)
Why can’t timber joists just span the 2 outside walls and the roof be supported off them? Is the weight still not being supported by load bearing walls?
I’m just curious about this, I have no knowledge of it and will be getting an SE
