Spacing RSJ and Timbers?

[iDIY]

Hi Guys.
I have an RSJ bridging a 4m span above where the patio doors will be located. The RSJ is across the inner leaf and supporting the Roof Joists.

I am installing a 225x75 parallel to the RSJ across the outer leaf, this will not be taking any of the roof load.

What is the best way to tie the RSJ and the timber together. Timber spacers and coach bolts maybe?

1. What size is the steel beam?

2. What's the 9" x 3" for?

3. Will they be at the same level?

4.Flat roof or pitched?

Yes both same level, the RSJ size is irrelevant, as is the purpose of the timber and the type of roof, why over complicate a simple question?

Yes Tony explain yourself or the OP will want a full refund

6" nails should do it.

Or Evostick?

Or Gorrila Glue?

without that further info maybe Tony cant answer your query with accuracy.

For starters, you don't know what an rsj is.

And that comment simply reinforces my last comment.

If the 9 x 3 isn't supporting any load, why have it in the first place?

If I wanted to explain every aspect of the build I would have done scale drawings, and included SE calls for the “RSJ’. Now move long and leave space free for anyone who has the slightest inclination of answering the question rather than simply building their message count.

The size of the steel beam, and type of roof does have a bearing on possible solutions to the problem. Why should anyone waste time trying guess possible ideas if you can't even be bothered to give any meaningful details?
