Exactly.

Nice logs Peter.
Why do you say that those logs are a little big for stringers?

The builder was talking 6", Most are 8 to10" All the old barns here are 4 or 5".
Just to hold the 1" boards up between the rafters.

Wow. I guess I am some kinda dumb on what you are talking about. I think I know but a picture would settle me for sure.

I'm lost too..to me, a purlin is a nailer that sits on top of the rafters to nail tin too.  Maybe you're just 2 facing them for him?
Boy, back in my day..

Peter Drouin

The roof beams from the top of the wall to the ridge are 12' apart, the purlins go left to right 4' on center then they lay 1" on top. The purlins will have one face cut flat, roof side. When you stand inside and look up you will see the round 3 faces.

Maybe this will help.  You can see the purlin supported on each end.  It spans across to the other side and supports the rafters:  LINK

Got it.
The problem is that I hear the roof nailers called purlins when the rafters are spread apart. Not too uncommon for wood barn structures here to only have a truss every 8 or 10 feet and 2x4 on edge between or on top of them for nailers/purlins. Red iron barns often have a 20' stretch.
That is here and we have 18'' of snow every so often.

True, Paul I love your setup.  How come you don't make a bigger opening?
We try the door opening every time we saw 12' logs. Just not very often for us. 8'8'' and 10'6'' are normal sizes for us.

I didn't want to hijack Peter's thread, but this has been fun HUH?

Magicman, that is a purlin plate, which runs the entire length of the building and supports the rafters mid-span. What Peter is describing is a principal rafter, commin purlin roof. There are four principal rafters, often as part of a truss, and then short purlins that run between the rafters.

And then we call the ~14½" blocks between our studs, "purlins".  Maybe they are or maybe it's local?

There are regionalisms for sure,  but we are also dealing with the difference between conventional framing and timber framing. Not everything translates.

this is the way i was taught  :)
its called lath on a stick building where the rafters are 16 or 24 centers and when they are 1x4 or 1x6 nailed down flat :)  around here the most common use of purlins ( as far as the name ) is on metal buildings and are set 5' apart :)
around here the blocks between the studs/floor joists that mm described are called hobbles it is amazing how different it can be from one area to the next :)

 I'm cutting a timber frame, too.  Loads four and five today.  My yard is officially plogged.

Man, look at how handsome that guy on the left is  :D


I wish I could have visited for longer, seems like we could go on for hours and never hit the same subject twice.


People, the place is looking good, I had to do a RFFSVV (Randomized-Forestry-Forum-Sawdust-Verification-Visit) to make sure Peter is fulfilling his sawdust inoculation quota.  I'm happy to report he passed the test with flying colors.  We also searched the place for grits and could find not one grit.  And we knew we were in the great white north as we saw snow on top of Killington yet as we passed by. 


I was happy to deliver some hard maple lumber to his neighbor :D :D


Boy, back in my day..
