Riverbend Timber Frame Raising, Enclosing the Frame with SIPS The participants used to span over window and door openings are called headers or lintels. As the span of the opening increases, it is necessary to increase the depth of these members to support the ceiling and roof loads. A header is traditionally made up of two 2-inch members spaced with %-inch lath or plywood strips, all of which are nailed together for convenience in handling. However, from a structural point of view, it is not necessary to nail these members together, or even to space them apart. The lath or plywood spacers are used only to bring the faces of header flush with the edges of the studs. In addition, lighter loads may not require more than a single header member. |
