Hello all !
I am planning to make my pitched roof space in my garage into a loft as it seems a wasted space which would be great for extra room in my man cave.
This is a pic of it:
Measures - 5.13m x 5.08m (16ft 10in x 16ft 8in)
What i'd like to know is what size beams i would need to go from one side to the other without a supporting beam from the floor to allow some boards to be fitted for boxes, etc to be stored.
Am i also ok to sit the beams ontop of the brick work and fix them to roof beams to hold them in place ?
Thanks in advance
