Hello, I am drawing a sunroom of 4.3 * 4.5 m. (extension from an existing building, which is located to the left in the attached image).
Roof slope of 17 degrees.
On one side, it is planned to have sliding doors/glass sections with a width of 3740 mm according to the attached image.
I need some help with a span calculation/dimensioning to understand if it's even possible to achieve such a construction?
What is required for a glulam beam or similar between the corner posts to support that span without posts between the sliding doors/glass sections?
The joists are drawn with 45 * 145 studs, 60 cc, and the walls are drawn with 45 * 120 studs, 60 cc.
The rafters in the image should only be seen as an overview and not a final construction, as these are intended to be purchased ready-made.
Snow load area 2.5.

Here you can make the calculation.

Thanks, I've seen that page before, but the thing is that only one side is supposed to be open, the other walls should be able to be built with construction timber, as there is room for studs. (The calculation program doesn't take that into account.)Q qvirre said:
My thought is if I can just take the recommended glulam beam over the opening from the calculation but keep the rest of the structure, including the corners consisting of assembled 45x120 studs.
Yes, you can do that.
