I currently have a front porch 2800w x 900 d, timber framed which supports a hip tiled roof, basically a square bay.
The softwood timber frame is rotten so i bought a replacement in reinforced upvc including 2 corner post also reinforced.
I have a wall plate on the house and top of the frame which rafters run and tiles layed.
Ive calculated the tiles in the roof weigh 250kgs total spread over the entire porch size.
Looking at the front theres a door frame in the middle (900mm), a window either side (880mm), a corner post at each end for a 900 return
My question is, will the corner post need bay jacks with this weight?
