Thanks Jim That was kinda broad Let me get more setailed. I guess I,m trying to find the formula and values for figuring this but would like a "ballpark estimate" by some experienced TF's. I'm recyling the SIPs so they are mostly for insulation and I plan to use a lot of screws so they should help stiffen the frame.
I'm in south Georgia so no snow load
The beams are hand cut yellow pine 8x12 the 12 up and down of course.
They are to be supported by an 8 foot wall on one end and a ten foot wall on the other the walls are 8x8 yellow pine with a 8x8 header
most appear to me to be at least no 2 maybe no 1
the support area is 8 incehes wide the actual span about 15 feet
all they need to hold up is the sips and some tin and 2x4s but since I'll be sleeping under them I would likje to check before I erect HEHE
all to is bolted together with angle iron as a connecter
If anyone can point me to the formulas and values I'd appreciate it.
and if anyone think this could fall on my butt please email me lol
