Hello,
so our shed, about 60 sqm, is getting a new roof now. When we bought the property, the roof had collapsed. Now my question is, how do I attach the beams on top of the wall? At the front, they protrude a bit. The shed is 4.68m wide and the beams are 5.10m. I have rebuilt the top row of stones with aerated concrete to create a level surface. Is it enough to lay the beams on the walls and secure them with brackets on the left and right? Or is that not sufficient? The brackets would be 105x105x90 and the roof beams 80x160. Or beam shoes? Or can I screw the beams directly into the aerated concrete? Questions upon questions and I simply don’t know what would be best. It should also hold. Or should I embed the beams in the masonry?
