HI all - been a while since I posted
Can anyone help re. shed roof construction ?
I'm planning a DIY shed 2.4m x 3m pent roof with polycarbonate sheets as covering and am thinking 2x4 roof rafters across the 2.4m span - 40cm spacing - does this make sense or this overkill ?
I only ask because shed kits use much smaller roof timbers and they keep to hold up fine - I've even been up on the roof of our old shed (apex roof) and that has tiny thin timber everywhere
Also I'm planning to put 4x solar panels up there so maybe 100kg spread over the roof
Just sounding opinions really - the google has people suggesting massive deep timbers so I'm suspecting they are more thinking building regs etc rather than just a shed
Thanks in advance
