Hi, building a carport 730x340, 5x2 foundation blocks M16 and 5 Y in the rock with M20 bolts. 90x90 posts and 45x195 beams, half in half on the sides together with 45x120 between the posts. Length spliced half in half. 7 rafters, tongue and groove wood.

Considering a diagonal brace for reinforcement, would you place one from one corner to the other corner diagonally on top of the horizontal rafters or from one corner to the middle to another corner like a V?

Planning a bracket with reinforcement in the corners. https://www.jemfix.se/konsol-250-x-350-galvaniserad/5107/9058749/

No walls planned for now, but a cross on one gable.

Happy to take some ideas :)
 
  • Wooden carport construction with rafters, beams, and plates in a forest setting, highlighting joints and structural elements.
  • Wooden carport under construction with diagonal bracing beams, supported by wooden posts and horizontal beams, set on a gravel surface with trees in the background.

Considering diagonal bracing to stiffen up, would you place one from one corner to the other diagonally on top of the horizontal members of the trusses or from one corner to the middle to another corner like a V.

No walls planned now-however a cross in one gable.

Would love some ideas :)
Hi! How did you stiffen it up? Have the same problem.

Hi, sorry for the late response. Crisscrossed 22x95 type on the inside of the rafters. Helped a bit at least!
