I wonder if a SIPs factory could assemble something like Concave Mansard roof panels.They seem real good, and appear able to pinpoint anything. Keep amazing me.

Hi I'm based in the UK and need some advice, I have used a manufacturing company that had erected my sip man cave, roughly 6.7m (w) x 4.88m(d) and 2.5m high they used an eps system with 122mm panels, the flat roof uses 600 x 2400 panels however the company has joined these two panels with a 2x4 c16 timber, to span 4.88m for the roof the roof also has an openings for a 70kg skylight, I am worried once I put the skylight in the roof might not hold the skylight, as the max span of a 4x2 with a point load of 70kg is roughly 1.7m, can you advice please

How did you get on with your build? Remember that the splines joining the panels are glue and screwed to form a composite structure much stronger than just the splines themselves. If you were talking about a joisted roof using 4"x2" joists then you would be correct, they would not be sufficiently strong but a SIPs roof is different! Happy to talk it over.
