Hi, I am building a shed against the garage, having trouble figuring out how to attach the beam to the facade, limträstolpe works but I would rather avoid it.
Does anyone have knowledge on how this could possibly be solved?
I assume you're planning to use a glulam beam as a ridge beam which at its inner end will be supported on the garage wall in some way? For this to be possible without a special post, there must be a stud behind the garage's panel that you can use for attaching some kind of angle bracket.
Hello and thank you, yes I will have an open space up to the ridge and a beam is needed to support the roof structure. What do you think about a short glulam beam about 60 cm between the studs in the garage to attach the beam to the roof?
Many Thanks! The shed is 5.30 X 2.70 and the roof will be slightly larger; I want the pitch to be the same as the garage you see in the picture, I don't know the pitch but I can find out. I initially thought of having roof tiles, but maybe metal will be easier, which might help with the load-bearing capacity.
If I place a short glulam beam between the studs in the garage and then set the glulam beam on it and then another short glulam beam behind it to hold the end "hard to explain" maybe it'll hold
The load on the ridge beam's end can be up to 7 kN, i.e., approximately 700 kg. It's not the dimension of the beam you place between the garage wall studs that matters but its fastening. What is possible depends on how it looks on the inside of the garage wall.
Hello and Thank you! The glulam beam I'm using is 45x270, both as the ridge beam and the "support beam" in the garage, so I believe it will hold. The question is whether the studs in the garage will hold 45x140? Attached are images of how I have planned it, where the knee brace is, I was thinking of putting a beam as a "cap".
The very best would be if the short glulam beam could rest at both ends on an extra 45x95 stud that goes all the way down to the sill and that is in contact with the existing standing studs. The crossbeam doesn't really need to be so strong, but since you have such a piece cut, it's not a disadvantage.
The best option would be if the short glulam beam could rest at both ends on an additional 45x95 stud that extends all the way down to the sill and is flush with the existing standing studs. The crossbeam doesn't really need to be that strong, but since you have such a piece cut, it's not a disadvantage.
Ok. Unable to place a beam down to the sill, so the solution would be a glulam pillar outside the garage wall.
If it is not possible to anchor posts to the sill, you can settle for attaching the glulam to the surrounding studs. Firstly with two sturdy angle brackets at the bottom, and secondly with a number of strong screws through the standing studs. Altogether, the screws must withstand 700 kg + margin, i.e., at least 1000 kg in load across the longitudinal direction. Lag screws will probably be best.
