Joining Oak Beams
I am building a lean-to car port and have installed the 3 uprights in 100mm x 100mm x 3m in oak. I was planning to build the roof structure in softwood using 75mm x 50mm with a 5m long cross member on the top of the oak uprights. Due to an ordering error I have 2 extra 100mm x 100mm x 3m oak pieces. How could I connect these on the top of the uprights, I was planning to use 150mm timber lock through the soft wood cross member but if using the oak would have to abut the 2 ends of the oak beams on top of the centre upright. Is there a special bracket/connector for the centre column? Thanks in advance for your comments. Andrew
