Thanks all, Stevie are you an SE? Perhaps we could engage?

That's what I thought, this was all handed to me by the previous owners. Out of curiosity what would be a better size? It's a simple flat cold roof.

The beam I've been told to use is a 203 203 UC 46, based on the 5.8m span. That's quite heavy no? Surely the single skin wall could just collapse with the weight of that plus roof End of beam would be covered with fascia yes.

100*100 with a top and bottom plate bolted to concrete foundation and to the single skin wall?

Any suggestions on alternative?

I have a building in the garden, which was originally a single garage, the brick wall is the original left side wall, the original right side brick wall was knocked down, and the rear original brick wall was then extended and joined with concrete heavy duty blockwork to make it a wider building...

Having had to softener installed for a number of years and then having it sit in the garage for a while before re-plumbing my new home. I started to have issues where the water would be soft for a maximum of four days before turning hard and requiring a few manual regens to get it up and going...

As I understand, you have an overhang on one edge of a flat roof to take the fall and hold the guttering. So then two side edges of the roof have the upstands and you can see the gentle slope. What can I do if I want two sides of the roof to overhang? Say for example the front and one side...

What size padstone?

Dimensions above. Ideally also I'd like to have roof joists running front to back across that 5.8m span but I can have them across the 5.25m span (though it would change plans in the visible garden - which is the side of the garage); flat roof, EPDM. May do insulation inside at later date, no...

Will get the proper dimensions shortly, and very much appreciated!

What is BRA? I have an opportunity to swap it out for 203 x 203 x 46. Would that be more appropriate?

No BCO. It's a double garage, just under 30m²

Yes via the phone in a verbal discussion "I think UB will be okay, a 233*133, let me double check but should be good"; and was meant to return to me with calcs and document, 3 weeks ago. Now radio silence

He hasn't replied to me for over a week and I can't get in contact with him

I've a 203x133UB25 beam ready to be installed across a double garage opening, it will have a wall plate fitted and hold one end of the timbers of a flat roof, may also hold the double garage door later 2 questions 1. Is it undersized? Ive been doing some reading and seen people are using 203 x...

Out of interest, when you fit at steel height and the steel is the finished front of your building, how do you then fit fascias to this steel at the front and finish the front?

It's 6m wide 5.1m deep. So the fall will be across the 5.1m back to front (into gutter above double garage door and then into drainage leading to soakaway) I think I'll go with the wall plate option, with the wall plate tied down and some twist ties for good measure, and then bolted into the...

They are not, but out of interest when drilled are you just sitting the rafter on top of steel and then fixing through steel into wood with screws?

If directly to top of wall I get I can use the twist straps, but if directly ontop of steel, how are these secured? Thanks
