Clear Shed Roofs What Size Beam Will I Need To Support 6,000 Lbs Across 16 Foot Span?

What size beam will I need to support 6,000 lbs across 16 foot span? - clear shed roofs

I have a roof under construction in the roof of a house I am restoring. The rafters must be at least 22 meters and can not all the time. If we use a short support beams in the middle with a beam size of the necessity of the roof, which we support number is 6000 pounds net weight is evenly distributed light cover, not the place we colimn in the middle.

The actual weight of the cover is not too major concern here. I suspect you have a way to build back beams (beams chosen, for example, 2.12 meter, mounted in the environment, or the bar to ask a bath, but a book 22 extends from the outer wall) Dependent the size of the beam, (as they would now, with two small bars, I say, 2 x 10 KD-SPF would be a good thing, but we need to know the slope) of "a specific recommendation, two 9 1 / 4" LVL beams, is sufficient.

Have you note that you must load at the end of this bundle may lead to the foundation (ie the network quadrupled over the edge of the plate to reach).

If in doubt, that these figures led by the local building inspector, he or she can not say exactly what the use

If you are up to 22 "2" x 12 are not in a position "rafters, then you are probably not formed in a position to receive a 16 'timber of Paralamas. Parallam A beam is a beam through strips of plywood that is glued pressure.
It takes a beam of 3-1/2 "thick x 14" tall.

Is it really necessary to consult an interior decorator or structural engineer to. Usually, headboards in wood beams or steel I engineering from this period.

I would contact a company that armor and tell him. Different materials have weight limits. Google ARMOR Adams businesses in Arkansas, will be observed. Hope this helps
