    You can always tell when someone is making their own project. The extra care and "over engineering" is always there. I tend to do the same thing for my builds. :)

    Thank-you for that video. Just what I needed. I have a shed with roof rafters that do NOT extend past the shed walls- (I know!) I couldn't figure out how I could build an overhang that would not sag over time. The support at the peak answers that question.

    I’d recommend doing a 3 1/2”dropped end gable to run your lookouts into the next rafter or truss and back nail the lookouts and start your sheathing at the end of the ladder and it’s tied into framing with a cantilever and the sheathing, making it much stronger.

    Yes, typical method. This method is fine, but I would run the sheathing back at least two bays.

    not to nitpick but I noticed you didn't remove the last foot of sheathing up towards the gable end. You mentioned it in a previous video, and I thought it was a good idea. Anyways, I like your work and these videos!

    Can you do a video about a cieling that floats off two walls. The back wall would be 9 feet wide The side wall would be 8 feet deep. Off the wall the 1 foot thick beam would go off the side wall 6 feet and cut towards the beam coming off th3 back wall that's 6 feet deep _____ [ ] [___/ Kinda like that above but with no spaces between the lines

    I'm trying to figure out how to build big overhangs on 2 sides of a building, can it be done? Or should I change the design to only overhang on one side? I want about 4 feet on one side and as much as possible up to 12 feet max on the other side. Seems like it will be too hard and I'll have to put posts to support the 4 foot side, then overhang just one part of the roof maybe 10 feet using 30 foot rafters? Or 30 foot trusses

  • @jeffreydoliber2353

    Question why only 16" for maximum overhang?

  • @ST-0311

    @ST-0311

    Ай бұрын

    The weight that far out will cause it sag on the floating end. Actually, he is going over code which 12" is for a ladder rake. It's a little sketchy, but he did overbuild it with all those LedgerLok and HeadLok structural screws. Should be okay. The overhang can be increased to a max of 24", but another method of securing the fly rafter to the structure is required. The fly rafter can be attached with cantilevered boards called lookouts, outlookers, or outriggers depending on who you ask. I prefer this method regardless of the overhang. Not a fan of ladder rakes.
