Roof Joist Size Table

For uninhabitable attics without storage we will use table r802 4 1 and for uninhabitable attic with limited storage we will use table r802 4 2.

Roof joist size table.

If this is the case with your structure use the floor joist table to determine maximum joist length load. Timber to be covered these span tables do not apply to timber which is fully exposed to the elements. Surveyors and structural engineers utilise data from tables below to help calculate the correct size strength and centres of roof timbers for the required spans and loadings. These span tables apply only to flat roof and roof with a slope of up to 10 degrees.

Floor joist span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of floor joists based on species of lumber joist spacing and joist size. Use this table to determine the maximum lengths of ceiling joists based on species of lumber joist spacing and joist size. As mentioned above the span tables within the code list the allowable ceiling joist spans for common lumber sizes based on what design load scenario is applied. Roof rafter span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of roof rafters based on species and grade of lumber spacing dimensions load and slope.

Joist span tables use these tables to determine lengths sizes and spacing of ceiling joists. For pitched roofs flat roofs and ceiling joists.
