I'm framing a porch roof out of rough cut pine. Using 4" x 6" beams for the rafters sitting on 6 'x 6 ' beams and posts. Wanting to sheet it with rough cut 1" x 8"s. (not T&G)
Problem I have is the codes in NC in reference to rough cut. I know that regular rough cut 2" x material gets treated as though you were using #3 spf, I cannot find anything on 4" x 6"s! :blink:
I'm still waiting on the inspector to call me back to enlighten me on this. :whistling
Probably won't hear from him until after Christmas.....maybe.
I was gonna space em 36" oc which will leave me with 32" from inside edge to inside edge but don't want to do nothing until I get some opinions and talk to the inspector.
Total span for the 4" x 6"s will be 12 ft.
Any thoughts? Past experiences with RC lumber?
