No. 30 year journeyman carpenter (mostly framing) and contractor. If you're a journeyman carpenter or a structural engineer familiar with residential building, they're called a "conventional ridge" (which before the late 1950s weren't even required) or a "structural ridge". Why do you post this bullshit?

So as an engineer I would love to ask you a question I've dismantled houses that are 300 plus years old the ridge was nothing more then a piece of ledger board made it through the hurricane of 38 in New England had no engineered Lumber that you're talking about way more snow than we've had in New England in the last 30 years not one of them ever ever fell down can you explain that

I thought they're called tie beam and collar beam.

The 2 main structural elements of a house are substructure and the superstructure, and this includes the foundation, columns, beams, and roofing. The integrity of a structure depends on them.

Lost me right in the beginning, not simply identifying, by showing what a ridge board is and what a ridge beam is. Edit: 5 mins later after looking it up; A ridge board is non structural and apparently acceptable for pitches/slopes greater than 3/12, whereas the Ridge Beam is 'structural' and usually or perhaps typically supported by columns.

THIS... is my kind of video!

Great talk 😊

Waste!

It would nice if you identify the ridge beam and ridge board on the model immediately.

Nice i want to see a framer do this in 30 seconds.

Wow this is the best demonstration of this concept I've ever seen, thank you! Great model

Yeah science!

👏👏👏

Fire your producer

West coast logging is way cooler.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Thank you for sharing this video. It is good to know about structural integrity and how to build walls etc...

You still never actually explained the difference between the two words

Good content ever seen on youtube

That was Cool! Ty

Weyerhaeuser is a trash company Oregonians can’t stand them illegally holding land that was never intended for them

I love the model. This is so hard to explain to people without the visual aide.

Don't forget about enough room in rafters for insulation and venting? Especially in cold climate like Canada,

Are you still a territory manager? How do you like/liked that job? I’m trying to get that job here in the NW and find your videos very informative!

Watching in Ireland great presentation thank you very easy to understand

Great Explanation Of Strong Roof Building! Thanks, A Lot⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏌🏾‍♂️

What about the two gable ends that also support the ridge beam and roof, where is that ? I’m sorry but structurally this is not correct.

Hey folks carpenter here dont trust companies that make parts. Every stick cut roof should have double 2×12 member to attach rafters to. Or its junk.

Yhis just answered questions I’ve had for a month now that have been stalling me from progressing my shed build. I now have the confidence to start working on the ridge and rafters. Thanks for the video

This is the best explanation for this type of conversion I found on KZbin. Thanks.

But even with the compression roof the gable ends would have braces all along the edge if not for support at least to provide a board to attach the sheathing and thus provide the same load transfer down to the foundation. Right?

Very informative!😀

Does the same thing need to be done on the opposite side

Only real explanation I have been able to find. Thank you. I guess that vaulted ceiling conversion wont be as easy as I was hoping.

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this topic! Thank you

When using an I Joist as a rim board, do you fill the web portion with any material to make it look flat?

I love the model. Such a great thing to take the time to do for demonstration.

Very good explanation, thank you.….not sure about the need for hand and eye protection for this video.🤷‍♂️

Thankyou for an excellent visual explanation.

gloves ant goggles Why😂🤣🤯. I would lave to know, in what danger you think you are😀🧐

How come on houses that have a ridge beam why do they only put collar ties every other rafter why not every rafter I want to put collar ties on every rafter in my house

ha... thats a joke right?

Can these be used in place of headers? I have a termite eaten 8 1/2' 4 x 12 garage door header that needs to be replaced. The I-beam would allow for insulation.

Do the holes support weight? Can i suspend something through them?

why aren't LVL, or such, made...hollow? As much as possible, anyway. Without significantly reducing its capacity. Less material...less-weight...less-waste...good for the planet...blah, blah, blah :-) I'm an old framer (aka: designer/builder), who'd appreciates more "lightness" as a spec., too. btw, my all-wood structures have been in 8 hurricanes in S.FL, since H. David, with NO damage. Even those with Trus-Joists ('81) ! )))

You are full of you know what. Any 2nd year carpenter would destroy you in a debate. Your lobbying may get the rules changed so you can force feed more overpriced materials on the unknowing public, but it doesn't change the math or the evidence data. Shame on you.

Larry looks like Sean Bean ;)

Are filler block added to second joist or it's empty there, or filler block has to be 1 for 2 joists and thick enough to fit the gap between joists?

Very helpful! Thanks!

Awesome!! Thank you 😊
