Hi Guys,
Had a good look over the previous topics and struggling to find any information on flat roofs.
My build is on a boundary so am limited to 2.5m hence the flat roof.
I have a solid concrete slab that measures 5m X 8m. I have the option of making the walls from either wood or breeze block. The other option is if I use wooden joists or steel to support the flat roof. I do not want to have a supporting beam in the middle of the area so the joists would need to span the distance.
I can find information on the wooden joists and are happy but I am struggling to size the steel option. Has anyone had any experience in this area?
Thanks in advance all.
