Why aren't you platform framing this section? You still don't need to use two under and two along side the headers, but that's only four extra 2x4's. Made sure to include double king and jack studs on this one. Is this looking better? I removed the second header, the other is a built up 10" header 8' long. The loft floor wasn't intended to come into that header.Ĭheck this updated rendering, assuming there will be blocking with 2x4 scraps at both ends between the 2 2x4's. I would put double kings and double jacks under the upper header at that wall height. Is the loft floor coming into that header? Another thing done is to use waste blocks of 2x4 for filler between corner studding. A extra stud 4" from a corner is for nailing inside wall finishing, not for strength. Matter of fact, it would be better if left a space for insulation. Well you don't need a header on the lower windows and you don't need to stack all the studs in the corners. My current layout seems headed in the overbuit direction - what can I do differently to improve design? Thanks again I want to build it right, but not overbuild if possible. As far as framing the large wall goes, please look at the attached photo and give me some feedback. I'm guessing double jacks and double king studs along the windows on the tall side. The ame scenario, I was under an 1820's house over the weekend that had heavily notched joists, most were split from that corner. The "re-entrant corner" in something like the upper notch concentrates stress and can cause the rafter to split. The upper end of the rafter would be better unnotched and running over angled top plates on the top wall. Wall bracing is only needed if you aren't using 4x8 sheets of plywood or OSB siding. That big window looks like it might be 7' long a double 2x10 would be needed here. Header wise only the high wall and the back wall will have load. Then notch them to fit on top the walls with maybe three inches of wood passing over the walls to the faicia. we'd probably want at least 2x8 rafters on 16'' centers. I'm not sure if you have snow load concerns, but here in MN. Not too sure of all you're asking, but of course the back wall will be 8' high. What headers would you recommend? Planned to construct with 2x4 studs 16" oc.Īlso, this was planned to be balloon framed, what kind of bracing is needed? Full length joist for loft between load bearing walls necessary? Wall will have 2 levels of windows, see photo for reference. Seeking opinions for best way to frame a 12' tall wall for a shed roof cabin with 4 in 12 roof.
