Again thanks for everyones input on this thread. I have a stub joist arangement 2ft on center attached to the jack rafters on the hip side. I just dont see how these which are face nailed to the first ceiling joist help the wall from pushing out especially since the main side calls for the...
Again thank you all for your input and advice. Trusses are no longer an option the framing is almost done. The beams will be supported by posts which will rest on built up 2x8 beams underneath. Each hip beam will have its own support post (offset from eachother) one hip beam on each side will...
Kootenaykid... Which beam are you referring to? you said to make sure the top of the beam is braced... did you mean the post? If your talking about the hip beam don't the rafters keep the top of the beam stable?
I wasnt planning on pinning it. Im assuming by pin we are talking about a dowel of sorts from the hip to the ridge. If I support the hips at the top with a post and in the middle with another post StruCalc says a single 2x8 is sufficient. I wouldnt think there isnt enough room to get two pins...
I initally planned to use trusses but the truss manufacturer gave me the run around for 2 weeks and I eventually ran out of time to get the building blackened in before I go on vacation. This is the root of the problem. I had it half framed before I realized I had to have a hip beam and not...
Here is a pic hope you all have powerpoint. I determined the load via the strucalc program and was wondering if it calculated on hip or both. Since the rafters are ofset I need to design the hips as beams. Problem is I am spanning the whole distance with 2x8 ceiling joists with 2x6 rafters...
I am trying to build an irregular hip roof and need to utilize hip beams. I had a program figure the point load at the ridge. My question is, when I design the support for the hip beam do I need to double the load for the other hip?
24’6” span, floor joists 2x8 @ 12” O.C. The hip beams will...
