Thank you for the suggestion and the visual. It looks like a strong connection method. However, there's a bit of a snag with this approach. The position where the bolts would go through is exactly where the rafters meet the ridge beam. Any kind of bolted connection through the beam at that point...

The ridge beam spans about 16.4 feet and is supported by king posts at both ends. These king posts extend from the tie beam up to the ridge beam.

Thanks for your interest in the details! The ridge beam in this structure is an actual beam, not just a compression element. It's designed to carry the load of the roof, and it is supported at each end by a king post frame. The ridge beam's primary role is to support the common rafters, which...

Hey everyone, I'm working on a bit of a situation here. I've got a ridge beam in a building that's already up. It's about 9.5 inches by 3.5 inches and it's bending more than it should. I was thinking about adding a steel plate, but that won't work because it'll get in the way of the rafters...

Thank you for your prompt response and valuable feedback. I appreciate your insights. Please accept my apologies for not mentioning this initially. I have attached an image showing the connection details for your reference. In the image, you will see a side view of the proposed connection...
