Cantilvered Bearers


The bearers in the above photo are supporting roof-load, and the corresponding wall has a 270mm "dog-leg" in it, so the stumps and bearers also follow this. At the nominal junction, we have overlapped the two bearers by leaving a cantilvered end on each bearer. For the F17 timber being used, the maximum allowable cantilver is 400mm.
