How To Cut Rafters

Trying to find what size lumber to use?
This is based upon the span of the rafter (horizontal span, not total rafter length), live and dead loads. To size joists and rafters use the Maximum Span Tables for southern yellow pine. This Rafter Span Calculator is species specific for Douglas Fir, hemlock, etc.
