looking for an info source

Edited on Tue Jun-19-07 07:51 AM by KG

I'm drawing a addition on a frame house. the floor framing is going to be 2X joists with a 16 foot span. looking for a source that tells me what size joists i need for various spans.

edit - i'm thinking 2X12s, but a source i can use whenever i run into this kind thing would be nice

been googling but haven't found what i'm looking for yet.

thanks

1. Try this site...

http://www.southernpine.com/spantables.shtml

If this is not quite what you need, google "span tables"
