I have ordered timber casement windows (Engineered European Redwood) for a square bay window; these come with corner posts that will be bearing the weight of the flat bay roof.
The builder is requesting a specification was 97mm x 97mm C16 timber posts.
The window installer tells me the 90mm posts are structural (to the extent they casn hold another floor above), and that they exceed C16 as they are laminated in 4 layers.
I am at a bit of an impasse; does it ring true that a 4-layer laminated Engineered European Redwood post should be sufficient for a 3m x 0.6m bay window roof?
Thanks.
