Another question: I am using wall plates to take the loading on the party and gable wall. Should i use a 3" wide joist here instead of a 2" or does it not make any difference.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6112&Focus=86520#Comment_86520 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6112&Focus=86520#Comment_86520 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:29:10 +0100 chuckey 3" or 2" wall plate - depends on how far apart your fixings are for the wall plate. 2" should do if the fixings are at the joist spacing.

If you're plasterboarding onto the underside, cut the joists to underhang the RSJ very slightly, so that the subsequent plasterboard is just off the steel.]]>
