Hipped roof on conservatory, feasible solution according to model?

[carlbanan]

I'm working on designing an enclosure for our balcony to create a slightly larger living room inside. In connection with this, we also intend to add a sunroom. The optimal roof solution for the sunroom is shown in the model below, although I doubt its feasibility. In practice, it will be a single beam supporting the entire roof, right?



The length of the diagonal (between the wall and support) is 6670 mm. The dimensions of the sunroom are 4800 x 4800 mm. The roof pitch is 8 degrees.

Suggestions for other solutions? I'm currently working on drawing up a normal mono-pitched roof, which would have a span of about 4.8 meters. I plan to post a picture of that shortly as well.

If you can accept a flat ceiling, I see no problem with building according to your sketch using trusses. A bit of an unusual shape, but there shouldn't be any issues.

It's not possible to have a flat ceiling inside, need some clearance against the facade due to the door. By that, I mean that the height at the glass sections cannot be the same as against the facade above the door.

In what way do you mean it's an odd shape?

I'm also throwing in one with a standard pent roof. This solution is definitely simpler and more convenient in every way. Perhaps even aesthetically nicer? I gladly welcome any feedback

Anyone interested in giving their opinion on the two different options? How would you choose?

Had chosen pulpet as it is not significantly uglier and much lighter.

I would have tried to build according to option 1. Of course, you need to have some form of beam in the crease, but it's no problem to get it right as long as there is some space.

I would have tried to build according to option 1. You must of course have some form of beam at the bend, but it's no problem to achieve as long as there's a little space to make it

Do you know how to calculate the ridge beam's dimension? 270mm laminated wood is no problem to fit, but I suspect I might need to go even bigger. I might consider reducing the diagonal measurement as well if it would help.
