Think i have figured it. So they want me to put noggins in between the firrings on the high part to stop them from twisting under load. Don't think this is done much but my firrings are 195mm to 0 over so the high point is going to be a point of failure I guess seems overkill but guess kind of...

To be fair thats the first place I looked. The firrings are fitted to the joists? What do you mean bottom of the joint? The answers I get from Google are not making any sense

Hope i can get some help on this one Flat roof is going on for the extension building control came today and said we need to BACK STRAP THE FIRRINGS. Can i get some advice what is this my roofer has never heard of it before either unless its another temology for something else. The roof is...

Thanks thats put my mind at ease. Next question to anyone down south Surrey way used any company's they can/would recommend

Thanks for this are they fairly easy to work with. My roof will be done in them and am just assuming they can be hung pretty much the same as timber just wondering how you build the opening for a roof lantern

Hello All Currently building my extension, roof has been planned for using posi joists as we didnt want a post/piller in the new space, its a fair size extension 8m x 11m Anyway looking for any pictures people have using these possibly with a opening for a skylight just to get some ideas as...

So I reckon I can get it around back after looking about rolling it on small poles. Where i think its going to be a problem is getting it in place. The single story extension still needs scaffold as my garden runs down so at the moment the floor level at the furthest point is like 1.2m high...

Just wondering if anyone has some ideas on lifting a rsj in to place in surrey i really dont want to have to get a crane If I can get it in the back garden I have a fairly flat surface would i hire a beam lifter The beam is 5.5m @30kg pm

Yeah i think you may of miss read the post wasn't turning the joists flat, but running them from front to back instead of left to right Like this all my joists in my house run right to left but over the extension its 11m span so i was asking if they can be run front to back over the 7.5m span

Yeah the drawings are going in i am not even near that point yet it was just something that's popped into my head as i would like to dig the small footings once i get the extension footings poured. Yeah its ground floor, I was thinking of going solid but then my house is on timber joists and...

Building my extension and just want to know if the floor joist can be laid either way. Reason being my extension is 11m wide by around 7.3m deep if i have the joists running left to right then i am assuming i need to put in at least two foundation trenches to support the joists if I run the...
