Hi;
I am building a small workshop which will consist of a timber frame mounted on 4 courses of blocks.
Here is a pic of the proposed building with dimensions.
I will make up four frames using 100 x 50 0r 75 x 50 timber. Two side frames (2m24cm x 1m46cm) and (1m29cm x 1m46cm) and two front frames 1m47cm x 1m46cm) and 1m29cm x 1m46cm). In the LH front frames there will be a 60 x 90 window. The back wall is a previously constructed block wall, my wall plate supporting the roof joists will sit on top of this. To join the two front frame and to add a header above the door I will also run a wall plate along the top of the front two frames.
Questions:
1. What should the spacings be for the studs (same size timber as frame)
2. Do I need a header above the window?
3. What size timber should I use for the roof joists? Longest pan is 2m24cm.
4. Do I need to insert noggins in between the wall studs and Roof Joists?
Thanks
