'lo ... 2nd opinion needed pls?
have regs signed off for 1 storey ext. having gable roof of ridge beam + purlins all 75mm x 225mm timbers
still considering a vaulted ceiling (as no rafter ties needed anyway) - but obviously purlins will be seen internally and 9" deep. is this acceptable depth for 'aesthetics' or should I be considering alternative material (i.e. steel) if it's possible to have the same strength but less depth?
cheers!
