Timber roof truss span tables.
Spacing of trusses are center to center in inches.
Other more complex load condition spans can be determined with our free hyne timber design 7 5 software.
Listed are 46 tables based on common loading conditions for floor joists ceiling joists and rafters.
Floor joist span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of floor joists based on species of lumber joist spacing and joist size.
Spacing should be interpreted as the centre to centre distance between adjacent parallel members.
