Currently framing the structure for a sunroom. The goal is for it to resemble what I've photoshopped from Skånska byggvaror's catalog (but straight).
It will have a gabled roof open up to the ridge, and the main beam will be 2 glued/screwed 45*225. There's no problem at the front, where I'll just place a post on the wall plate, which will be 1 piece of 45*95 + 2 glued/screwed 45*195 on edge.
But how do I attach the beam to the facade? I've measured so that the beam ends up exactly where the outer cladding is nailed. A heavy-duty angle bracket might be enough? The cladding doesn't seem to be nailed directly to the framework; there seems to be a board as a spacer in between, as an air gap I assume. But is this nailed directly to the stud behind, I wonder? As you can see, I have horizontal cladding. I would appreciate help; I'm just a happy amateur.
A post from the floor up to the underside of the ridge beam; ensure there is support under the post down to the ground. Alternatively, cut into the façade and insert beams from the floor up to where the ridge beam will be, and slide the ridge beam into the wall? How will you seal between the wall and the sunroom?
Now it has been finished for a few months, let's hope I don't get sued for ripping off the owner of the original, because it turned out quite similar, and that was the goal. My best project so far!
I attached the beam to the wall with angle irons. It became quite discreet.
