My 5x2 are slightly too short to go from ridge beam to eaves when framing out my velux - is it possible to join two pieces (which themselves will be bolted to existing rafters) or does that contravene building regs?
Thanks Catlad - i'd say its about the same length as the original rafter (i.e. 5x2 at 4.8m length which seems standard) but the original sits on a joist. Perhaps it might be an idea to sit the new framing on a block in the eves imitating a joist? (assuming it would pass building regs and/or building regs don't care?).
