I have a garden room which I’m in the process of building.
I have decided to go down the cold roof design. I can achieve 50mm ventilation front to back of the building as the joists run in that direction however I have a side overhang which has been built by cantilever off the front to back joists.
I will need this section to be ventilated but the only way I can see of doing this is by drilling the joists for cross airflow but a 50mm hole in the joist is going to weaken the joist?
Any advice.
Thanks
