Touchdown! Greaser!
Gonna build a house. Pretend it's a hangar so I can justify asking the question here. Cathedral ceiling. Don't want to have scissor trusses made because I want the pitch of the ceiling to be the same as the roof. I don't want to use a Ridge Beam. I'm going to use Rafter Ties on the Top Plate. Code says a Rafter Tie every 48". However, the exterior walls are going to be 2X6 with double Top Plate. If 48" between Rafter Ties are good for 2X4 exterior wall construction, then it seems that more space between would be fine for 2X6 construction. Anyone know of any reference that allows this.
