Hi, This is Maksim. I understand you need structural sizing for a 24x24 patio roof with a 3.5/12 pitch and a cathedral ceiling, including rafter and ridge beam design without a center post. The structure must support asphalt shingles under approximately 40 psf snow load for NE Pennsylvania conditions while maintaining an open interior space without traditional rafter ties, potentially using cable or rod tension systems. I have 10 years of experience in structural engineering and residential timber framing design, including cathedral ceilings, porch roofs, and long-span wood structures. My approach focuses on correctly establishing load paths, ridge beam sizing, rafter sizing, deflection control, and evaluating feasible tension tie alternatives while maintaining code compliance and structural stability. I can provide clear, buildable engineering guidance with practical member sizing, connection concepts, and detailing that can be directly used for construction. Best Regards

AHi, I have over 14 years of engineering experience, including structural design, timber/wood structure detailing, and construction-ready CAD documentation. For your cathedral ceiling patio roof project, I can prepare a practical and clear design with proper beam, ridge, rafter, and tongue-and-groove ceiling details. My focus will be on structural reliability, clean appearance, constructability, and compatibility with local load requirements. I can provide AutoCAD drawings, structural details, connection notes, and calculation support where needed. I also use analysis tools such as ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation to review weak points before construction. I would be happy to help develop a safe, clean, and buildable patio roof design.

Hello, I have experience with wood roof framing, patio and porch structures, cathedral ceiling layouts, LVL/glulam beam sizing, ridge beam design, rafter sizing, and snow/live load coordination. I am interested in this project because the 24x24 open patio roof needs a clean structural solution without a center post or rafter ties, while still supporting the asphalt shingles and 3/4 tongue-and-groove pine ceiling safely. I will review the roof layout, span, pitch, support conditions, local NE Pennsylvania design loads, and ceiling finish weight, then size the ridge beam, rafters, and required LVL or glulam members, evaluate cable or rod tie options if needed, and provide clear structural notes and framing details for review or permit use. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

Hello, I’m a structural engineer experienced in residential timber framing, cathedral ceiling systems, and long-span porch/patio roof design. Your 24’ × 24’ open cathedral patio roof—with no center support post and no conventional rafter ties—requires careful ridge, rafter, and beam sizing to safely manage snow and roof thrust loads under Northeast Pennsylvania conditions. I can provide engineered sizing and framing recommendations for LVL/glulam members, including ridge beam analysis, rafter sizing, connection concepts, and optional cable/rod tie solutions to maintain the open ceiling aesthetic. The design will account for asphalt shingles, tongue-and-groove pine ceiling finish, dead/live/snow loading, and practical constructability. Deliverables can include framing calculations, member schedules, and clear structural details suitable for permitting and construction.
