Raise garage wall with load-bearing beam in.

[Niklaspe]

I am going to extend the garage in the spring, 4000x7500mm with a shed roof that will connect to the existing garage. I have figured out how to set up all the walls except the one with a beam support. Anything I should consider?

The wall with the beam support is 3400mm high. Is it easier to make 4 walls that are 2400mm and then place the beam support so it is level with the top plate at 2400mm? Then build up the remaining vertical studs to reach 3400mm and the rafters? The picture shows the opposite, with the beam and top plate at 3400mm.

Anyone have good tips? Or am I just overthinking it?

It becomes more stable with continuous posts, do you have any calculations on the glulam beams you have above the door openings?

Okay. No, the roof rafters will be 45x220 cc600 and an embedded support beam also 45x145 before the wall plate. Then a 90x225 beam as a lintel. 90x90 glulam posts.

Okay. The roof rafters will be 45x220 cc600, as well as a recessed beam, also 45x145 before the wall plate. Then a 90x225 beam as a tie beam. 90x90 glulam post.

Has anyone calculated the 90x225 beam? It sounds a bit weak depending on which snow zone you live in?

3.0, calculates that I would manage with double 45x220 screwed and glued. The rafters are, as mentioned, on cc600 and 45x220. Might go up to a 90x270 to be on the safe side. 14-degree slope.

But the roof frames have nothing to do with the beam, I don't think two screwed and glued 45x225 will be enough unfortunately, you need a structural calculation for that and experience suggests you need a glued laminated timber or a steel beam if you want...

Pretend it's garage doors instead, but that the opening is 2m between the supports.

You should ask someone who can calculate it!

I'm not looking to calculate it. Read my question.

I've already answered that.

 

[Niklaspe]

The second option I thought of was this.

140x270 glulam beam got answer

140x270 glulam beam got a response

There you see it is somewhat more robust than two floor joists as one writes!

 

[Niklaspe]

There you see it is something much stronger than two floor beams as you wrote!

so above the beam support it looks good according to the picture?

so the above load-bearing looks good according to the picture?

I would have had full posts beside the gates..
