90x45 ceiling joists from MGP10?
The span tables from the framing code when using MGP10 90x45 give Max Ceiling joist span at 2600 (450 spacing). Is this 2600 from the top plate to the hanging beam or the opposite wall top plate?
I have a 200x45 Lvl hanging beam already in place half way between the 4000 span. Can I use MGP10 90x45 or do I need to go to Lvl's?
Anyone got any clues?
:confused:

It's to the hanging beam as the hanging beam is there to support the joists. Better check the hanging beam though as well .

So being that the span is only 2000, the MGP10 90x45's should be fine.
