Rafter Span Tables - Use these tables to determine lengths, sizes, and spacing of rafters based on several factors such as species, load, grade, and spacing. Visit the roof framing page for more information on cutting roof rafters, and visit the roof pitch calculator for determining rafter lengths based on rise and run.

2022年3月8日 · For a "1 span" member bending under a load you get tension on the bottom and compression on the top of the member with ends that are free to rotate so zero moment reaction at the ends. if it is continues over a center support you get a moment reaction there that helps resist deflection of the member in a "2 span" situation.

2023年10月17日 · Rafter spacing is an essential parameter of roof design. Once the rafter spacing is determined, the number of total rafters and their span can be calculated. A greater distance between two rafters allows them to span a shorter length. A Douglas fir-larch, SS grade 2×6 rafter spans 18’ with 12” spacing, while it only spans 14’-4” with 24” spacing.
