Splicing stud 220x45?

[magnusrx7]

Since the idiot I bought the garage from didn't complete the construction, I'm now wondering what to do.

The rafters are on cc 120.
Between these, I need an additional beam for the floor to work on the upper floor.

I've received beams, but they are only 6m. Mine need to be roughly 6.5m.

The rafters are spliced with pressed plates.

What type of plates should I buy to splice the others with?

Pictures of the rafters are available at http://www.swedishrotary.com/garage/index.html

My floor joists are attached with standard joist hangers, 130X196, utilization rate 26% at an 8.5m span. In other words, use whatever metal fittings are available at the hardware store...

Quick decisions!

Thanks for the response. 100x200 should work, right?
What do you nail them with? Something special?

Anchor nail or Anchor screw is what is recommended for nail plates.
Make sure you nail correctly if you use the anchor nail, there's no turning back...

had placed the same dimension on each side with a half-meter overlap then glue in between and feed in nails.
that's when it becomes the best!!

That it would be best to glue, I would probably agree with, but is it necessary on intermediary studs in a garage?
There will be storage on the upper floor.

Well, I'm not a builder, but scarfing pbs with a rule of the same dim or for example, 18mm construction plywood in dimensions like 1200x220 mm, then a bit of glue and screws or nails feels much more solid. The nail plates themselves don't take any bending moment to speak of, they are too short for that. So everything depends on the beam ends continuing to lie rigidly against each other to keep the beam straight.

Metal sheets are at least as expensive as the small amount of wood that will be used. So why hesitate to get it really good???

Scarf on each side and glue, then feed in galvanized 4" nails.
It will be perfect!

I guess I'll go out and check how much lumber I got. Haven't counted through it.

Shouldn't it be warm when gluing that stuff? I have no clue about wood glue...

If you're only going to use the upper floor for storage, I would have installed 120x240 panels of second-grade material, like chipboard or plywood, as flooring on the cc120 joists. Add a couple of noggings 45x70, and it will work just fine.

Winter glue!
Works down to certain cold temperatures, but the wood should be dry. Absolutely no more moist than lumberyard dry.

If you're just going to use the upper floor as storage, I would have laid 120x240 boards of second-grade material, like chipboard or plywood, as flooring on the cc120 joists. Add a couple of braces 45x70 and it works just fine.

I've already got joists. They were supposed to be installed by the supplier, but it never got done. He was also supposed to fix the joint, but I've given up on him. Complaint on the way.

I haven't had time to go out and count what I have, but I'll do it.

Thanks for the tip about glue! I'll have to check that out.
