I have been laying new joists in my attic, they're 195 by 75mm x 4.3m finished size
around the bay window I need to have a trimmer joist that spans around 2.5m then hang the ends of about 5 joists from it, the trimmer joist will be hung about 100mm from the ends of the joists supporting it
First of all will it be ok to use a piece of the 75x195 for the 2.5m trimmer joist? will this be adequate to support the ends of 5 other joists?
Will the 2 joists supporting the trimmer be adequate seeing as i'll only be hanging the trimmer 100mm from their ends?
finally what type of hanger do I use? a brickie friend mentioned something about a timber to timber hanger that is nailed vertically to the trimmer and has a bit that wraps over the top of the joist , I cannot find any of this type, they all seem to be for masonry to timber
