Both are vaulted roofs using slightly differing ridge beams. One example is a steel beam with a wall plate fixed to the top the other is a pair of 8" x 2"'s bolted together but doing the same thing. The EML was an architect's' overzealous overkill addition as well as galv' strapping across the rafter tops.Nosey, whats the point in fitting a ridge board like that in photo 1.
Why the steel in photo 2. And why were you using eml in that blockwork?
Yes! (groan).Photo 3 is of those under sized steels again isn't it
Eh? how can the roof spread if the rafter is against a wall and the bottom seat cut is fixed to a rigid wall plate?A lean to roof needs both ends of the rafter to be seated to prevent a vaulted roof from spreading.
Not if the wall plate is fixed and the wall is rigid. Besides that, there is also a pole plate below the rafter. There is no need for a top seat cut on a lean-to roof.A lean roof doesn't have these so will want to slide with gravity.
Lol.I guess I just like to construct strong roofs then.
