Support for 8 metre wall

hairyslug · 2011-08-06 19:29:17

We have finally decided where the extension will be going (right along the side of the house) hope to get started on the foundations in the next week, I have been looking for flaws in our plan and one I am worried about is that the longest wall (single leaf with timber frame) will be 8 metres long, is there anything needed…

We have finally decided where the extension will be going (right along the side of the house) hope to get started on the foundations in the next week, I have been looking for flaws in our plan and one I am worried about is that the longest wall (single leaf with timber frame) will be 8 metres long, is there anything needed to support such a long wall. Would it be a good idea to run some blocks perpendicular in the middle of it all just for a bit of support.

Cheers
