Uhhh... :huh .. Anybody know the weight a doubled up 2x10 header can support over a 10' span?
I'm doing a home inprovement project and I know a 2x10 header would support the weight.
I can not use a 2x10 header. I need to order an 6" I-beam (10" is to tall). The guy at the I-beam place said he needs to know how much weight it will be supporting. He said he doesn't know anothing about wood only steel.
Not sure if this info is needed but.. it will be supported on each side by 2, 2x4 king studs... (or whatever you wanna call em.)
