FLAT VS ON EDGE
FLAT VS ON EDGE
Increases speed of construction - fewer pieces to span longer distances
Safer, faster, stronger. . . better
Imagine crossing a stream, with a 2x6 laid flat, you get wet feet. Stood on edge, dry feet
Minimum 2” x 6” framing lumber for purlins and girts, over 8’ span
Standing on edge, the Section Modulus (Sm), which is used to calculate strength
in bending, is 247% greater
in a 2x6 than a 2x4
