He said the 4x12 and 2x8x12 combination was right at the limit for the span. The engineer required 6x12 "rafters" and doubled up 2x8x14 perlins. When I added on, I wanted the perlins to span 14' instead of 12'. I attached a picture of the 4x12 area.Įdit: the angle of the picture makes it hard to tell, but the rafter is anchored to the lower post in the picture and runs up to a similar anchor higher up on the building. I had to build steel stirrups to anchor the rafters to the top of the lower post and the building with 3/4" bolts. I cut my 4x12 rafters out of fir on a mill but doubled up 2x12s would have been accepted. I also had to sheet it with 7/16 OSB before installing the steel panels. I had to use 4x12 "rafters" to span 12' and 2x8x12 perlins. I live in Idaho and the wing on each side of my engineered pole barn is framed like the OP is showing. Use a simpsion strong tie VPA clip to hold it down to the plates, stronger then birdmouth/toenail. No birds mouth needed either, you use a 2x10 on the inner plate of the outer poles of the lean to, and a 2x8 on the outer plate slide up to the bottom of the rafters after they have been placed. Third, Why would you need a ledger? You place it on the outer truss support/plate of the existing barn. My lean too is made like kinglake showed with 2x4's instead of osb/ply. Also did you down size the "purlins" for 24" rafter spacing? You wouldn't need purlins at all, you could even get away with 1x4's, more to stabilize the rafters than provide support for the roofing with a 24" spacing on the rafters. Third, you calculated 45 percent better cost, but you didn't know the rafter size(you assumed), It would have to be high grade wood as well which would be special ordered(i saw no mention to the grade of wood your wanting to use) and expensive. I have not seen a building here after the 80's built like you have shown, very few of the 70's barns were either. They have much less stringent design loads then. I would guess they method you have drawn was on an old 50's/60's pole buildings. Rafters on 24" centers would work well however. This would be in the glue-lam range or LVLs, or a half truss. Second, doing some basic engineering myself, you are no where close to a size of rafter to span 12'8" with an 9'5" oc. The rafter tables have been "pre engineered" as to not needing an engineer to do so. Click to expand.First, What you are asking is going to have to be engineered, by an engineer.
