    Has OP confirmed if the timbers in question are first floor joists or ceiling joists?

    I took it to be one floor and a roof space because he said it was a shed, because I don't know of too many two story sheds.

    how many bolts at the lap might suffice?

    I think I'd probably only use one say m12 but with large washers on each end and a timber connector on the bolt between the timbers. I'd also put in about eight 5 x 120mm screws.

    But imagining the size of it all three bolts with washers and connectors wouldn't be out of order.
