The ridge beam is holding the whole roof structure, it needs to be sized adequately, let me walk you through the installation of the ridge beam as well as a quick tutorial on how to size it the right way. I see if way too often, saggy ridges due to undersized ridge beams, don't be cheap, use the right beam and never worry again.
I am Tristan, I am building a 400 SF cabin at the back of my house. I plan on doing it all by myself. I plan on sharing this journey here on KZfaq where I will show you every step of the way, all the struggles I run into and everything I will learn from this experience. I will then rent the cabin as a short term rental in hope of covering most, if not, all my house mortgage (House Hacking). Follow me here as this will absolutely be one of a kind journey.
