![]() ![]() I'll say this, if you, as the Contractor, need this much help right from the start, and can't find it on your own, you might want to pass on this job.īut, in an effort to help you, this is how you should go about finding the info: I'm all for helping folk out on here, and those who know me, know I've done my fair share, but sometimes, when a newb comes here, has never posted anything, and then wants complete design help, from scratch, :no: I don't know what to say. Not to be rude but this whole exercise is kinda pointless without knowing local codes and loadings If trying to stay wood, glulam posts are prob a better choice, also you prob could sub glulam rafters instead of trusses but it will be getting expensive at this point. For the front you will need a 25’ 6圆 or something like that. C/w 2x4 purlins and metal roof.įew more things, I shouldn’t just say 6圆 will be to small but I think they would. Then some top hung trusses spanning the 30’. Glulam beam running parallel to long distance spanning posts. Post every 12.5’(again will have to be determined) You will want to embed proper size posts a certain depth into ground using sonotube and fill with concrete. If you are trying to stay as close to your design. Hi, just about impossible to answer without knowing snowloads, windloads etc. I put in 2x12x30 Glulam LVL's at 12" OC as just a place holder till I know what actually should go there. I just did a quick concept sketch in google sketchup to see if I was in the right ballpark with the customer on what he wanted. I will be getting drawings, engineering stamp, permits on this but want to approach them with most of it solved already to minimize the engineering on their end. Could use some help knowing ifġ) This true or if there are other ways to do it that would be better &/or more economical (Metal construction isn't an option).Ģ) What LVL size beams would I use to handle worst case scenario snow loadģ) How many LVL beams would I need to properly support the 32'x52' roof (1' overhang around 30x50 foundation)? Since its not an enclosed structure I'm thinking pressure treated Glulam LVL beams to span the 32' is my only option. Vertical suports will be 6'圆'x15' on the low side and 6'圆'x20' on the high to achieve a 2/12 roof pitch (this is in order to match his existing garage roofline - which this new carport will butt up against.) See pics. He wants 6圆 supports around the perimeter of the building only. Thank you in advance for any responses to this.Ĭustomer wants a 30'x50' open-bay Lean-To style carport. ![]()
