Plywood Cantilever
Plywood Cantilever
(OP)
Can roof plywood sheething be cantilevered? I have a shelter for a golf course where the arch wants to have the 3/4" plywood stick out at the edges by 24". Roof support behind the cantilever is prefab trusses @ 24" oc.
I recall to have read somewhere that you can't cantilever any grade of wood deck but I am not sure.

Also, regardless of thickness, I can guarantee you that the ply will be "drooping" and look terrible in a couple of years.

Any way to hide a relatively low profile (like B) metal deck in the construction to the architects satisfaction?

Even with a traditional fly-rafter that span seems large. '
If we had overhangs that large, we usually went with drop-gable trusses...they make for a very sturdy overhang.
Besides the strength, having 3/4" plywood hanging over by itself will look like hell, no?
