Hi everyone,
Im currently in the planning stages of building a patio roof.
Im not sure on what truss design is required. The width between posts (rafters) is about 4.7m. Im planning on a putting up a polycarbonate roof and maybe wood lining at a later date.
I would ideally like a simple design as im going to make them myself, i cant attach a picture for some reason. I was planning on just having one beam going across the rafters 2/3rds to the top of the truss triangle if that makes sense.
Any thoughts on weather the design would be sufficient or needs extra support?
Im planning on using 200x50mm timber.
Thanks in advance
Dave
