I thank you for your help the Joist timber is scandanavian pine 10'0" long 7"x 2" and using the calulator you gave me gives me a span of 8'6" which is perfect for what im doing ,here in the UK people dont need permission to build what is no more than a glorified shed but i myself prefer the Brunell style of engineering BUILD IT BIG OKaaa i assumed you where doing a calculation on your house and the "red cedar" was a suggested timber that your joists may be made from
i used 3x2" timbers on my shed [12x10ft] spaced 24" appart with support underneath every 24" [slab on sand brick on top with roofing felt to act as a dpm
and according to the building regs im 3x over the minimum requirement for the foundation/floor and substructure..i just wanted to know where the minimum requirement was here in the UK..so not bad for a temp structure If you need to find a tradesperson to get your job done, please try our local search below, or if you are doing it yourself you can find suppliers local to you.
