Re: [DIY] Shed didn't pass code

Yep, thanks for all the response. I visited the planning and zoning people and they gave me the requirements... you would think that the builders would have picked up on that ..

but all is good and eventually they will come out and add the 2 by 10's and the 2 extra jacks.

I'm getting an education with this project.

Means you have to put in a larger beam. or shrink the opening

look up on google the size of your beam, 4x8 2x10. 2x12 etc
and see what the permissble spans are...you may be able to
add another beam to the exisiting beam if it will fit of course
check with your county as you are doing

Subject: [DIY] Shed didn't pass code

The headers over both French doors did not pass our local code for the french doors.
can someone give me a link to show a picture of what we need?

The reason given was the headers were "over-spaned" ... what does that mean?
I'm going to the court house to get some direction on this.
