Connecting Wooden Rafters to Steel Tube Ridge Beam
Connecting Wooden Rafters to Steel Tube Ridge Beam
(OP)
I'm designing a portico - see attachment - the roof framing will be timber. However, the ridge beam will be a steel HSS 10 x 4 x 5/16; spanning about 28 feet. The architect doesn't want any interior posts supporting it.
To connect the rafters to the ridge beam can I use a timber rafter hanger, such as a Simpson LRU, and design screws to attach it? Or is there some other product available for this application. Google isn't much help today.
Thanks
