![]() ![]() I usually start at the top, collecting loads as I work my way down through the building, so let's start with the ridge beam. I can upload my sketchup file if need be. Let me know if more information is needed. Sorry.Īre the 6”x10” enough? 6”x12”, or maybe 4”x”12” would be better but, because of their height, I think it would look out of place.ĭo the knee braces offer enough support to make the span smaller?
