Hello, just joined this forum. Looks like a great place for advice
So, I have a flat roof garage (chipboard+felt) 6m x 6m approx with an internal diving wall which runs front to back and divides the space into 2m+4m (workshop/garage). I want to remove the wall and make it one space. Local rsj supplier suggested 203x133x25 to replace the internal wall (which supports wooden ceiling joists) and then another 203x133x30 rsj above the new, extra-wide garage door opening. So a welded 'T' shape rsj.
Do the rsj specs sound about right for a flat wooden garage roof of this size? What size/shape pilars would I need to build to support the rsj over the garage door?
(the garage is not attached to the house, but it is sandwiched between the neighbors terraced garages).
I'd like to do as much of the work as possible myself, but I am prepared to get a professional in to do the pillars.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Peter.
