    Hi,
    I'm planning on building a large garage and need help choosing the right size roof joists.
    The building will be 4.6 meters wide and approx 5 meters deep.
    The joists will span the width and the roofing material will be galvanized corrugated steel so nothing to heavy.
    As with most things I need to do this as cheap as possible so any suggestions on type of wood and good suppliers in the Bridgend area of Wales would be great.

    Trada span tables seem to suggest 63mm x 195mm joists at 400mm centres C16 grade timber.
