[QUOTE="Mur Huwcun, post: 7288298, member: 33114"] First use an online calculator to calculate your roof pitch, I just usethis one [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.omnicalculator.com/construction/roof-pitch[/URL] That gives you then an idea of what you can use. Although it’s just a log store I would go for 7*3 timbers if you’re going for full span as 6*3 will sag a lot. No need for the rafters to be silly steel if you can use gable posts aswell. Even two timber perlins screwed together would do if you don’t get a lot of snow and wind etc. Columns depend on what way you will fix them to rafters etc. [/QUOTE]
