didnt know they did them?and never seen anything like that over here in ireland
what way would you build it,not sure i trust the way they do things over here
They supply engineered joists too (shown in the images).
Slightly OT, but is it correct that there are no building regulations or suchlike approvals needed for house building/extensions in Ireland?
I seem to recall another poster from over there saying something along those lines

ok guys
shall i send back the 9x2 and get a bigger timber?
and what i dont understand,if i build the floor joist into the blockwork then a block on top,then a wall plate for the rafters,now because the joist and rafters are not nailed or bolted what will stop the weight of the roof from speading?
