Beam advice
I need to place a beam to support a ceiling (and roof above that). The span
is 14 feet. Supported only on the ends. I'm thinking of 3 2x12's with a half inch of plywood between each. Is this overkill, not enough, or just right? I don't really want anymore beam than necessary, but also don't want it sagging 5 years from now. thanks! -- Steve Barker Stilwell, KS |
