The span of the tie beam will be 24', and the ridge beam will be 30' long.
I was wondering if anyone has used or seen this methode, (king post truss?) to support a ridge beam over this type of span. Ive taken TIMBEAL's advice on another post to extend the king struts beyond the brace, close to the ends of the tie. I have acces to large diameter Sitka Spruce so cutting large diameters on the mill would be no problem. Any comments would be appreciated, as I am a new Timber Framer and have lots to learn.
Cheers
