Beam Brackets is how I know of them. Or according to the store tool station : www.toolstation.com/multi-truss-hanger/p24777?store=LR&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEqDi4uOSSuhfTLwFJ_glN83H5FjG7zKfUqd2EVIJNuBSvO-DfD_DjYaAozbEALw_wcB
I guess it would. Those metal brackets we used were plenty strong anyway but resting them on top of the cross beam would have guaranteed extra strength. I believe we were already using the longest available beams the project could afford and they just so happened to match the width of the room we were working in.
@@WoodIfICouldLtd Could it be possible to fix the metal brackets to the wall directly without having to fit cross beams? Having long enough beams that is.
@@elrusso46 I believe the metal brackets we used are meant to go onto a wooden beam, there may exist a similar bracket where you can do what your asking without the need for a cross beam before. That being said, as you can screw these, I don't see why you couldn't put plugs into the wall and screw these brackets straight on to said plugs. I can't vouch for this as I've never done it.
Steve Hunter From what I remember we used the full length, so around twelve feet in length. To be honest with you over time we did see some slight sagging, so even at this length a middle brace would not have been a bad idea.
If they're not 2x6 they're 2x8's . They were only cut down a little bit from their full span of 12 feet I believe. The ones on the wall were kept at full length though.
+itsLean ★ Yeah, a small handheld blow torch was used to give the wood that dark look. The top boards were painted white afterwards though. That part isn't shown on the video as I was only there during the main construction of the structure.
@@FrancuzSnk it's a surface burn, not enough to affect the timbers stability. Only the top millimeter of the surface charrs. If you'd like to learn more about burn as a finish I recommend looking up the Japanese custom of "shou sugi ban".

Congratulations nice job. I would like to build a mezzanine like your 3.30 meters wide. I would like to know what size of beams you have used for the structure.
@@WoodIfICouldLtd Meanwhile, thank you. It seemed from the video that the beams were not all the same, the middle crosspieces seem to be of a different size. Can you confirm that they are all about 5x20 Centimeters? Thank you
@@FabiusCaronte I can't go and measure anything anymore as this was a job I worked a few years ago, but, yes, all the beams in the wall are the same and I would say, from my memory, they were all about 5 x 20. (2" x 8")
Good jobs guys!
Thank you!
is concrete block empty inside ?
how did you connect to wall
i am looking to do one but to put plenty weight on it

i think better doing a footing because i am pulling a permit
good idea ¡¡¡¡¡¡ but the only way to anchor the wood to the wall if is the wall is made in concrete ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
hi from the 🇵🇭 am not familiar with those metal ones used where u out the beams. what do you call that?
Beam Brackets is how I know of them.
Or according to the store tool station :
www.toolstation.com/multi-truss-hanger/p24777?store=LR&gclid=Cj0KCQjwka_1BRCPARIsAMlUmEqDi4uOSSuhfTLwFJ_glN83H5FjG7zKfUqd2EVIJNuBSvO-DfD_DjYaAozbEALw_wcB
wouldnt it be stronger if they placed the wood edges on the cross beam
I guess it would. Those metal brackets we used were plenty strong anyway but resting them on top of the cross beam would have guaranteed extra strength. I believe we were already using the longest available beams the project could afford and they just so happened to match the width of the room we were working in.
im gonna ask the same thing

@@WoodIfICouldLtd Thanks for the reply, i will look into the appropriate brackets.
half of the floor area is mezzanine,my first test structure construction estimate
Domingo Salandanan I'm not sure I understand. What are you saying?
how did you attached the wood support at the wall?
We used some wall anchors like these:

Hi. What was the width the floor was spanning wall to wall. My unit is about 5metres across but I'm sure it would need to be braced at that width
Steve Hunter From what I remember we used the full length, so around twelve feet in length. To be honest with you over time we did see some slight sagging, so even at this length a middle brace would not have been a bad idea.
Great Job. A great video. Thank you !!
Does the wall anchors go through the wood support into the wall ?
How long is the screw?
The long boards are bolted to the wall with expanding concrete bolts. Yes they go through the wood. I think they were two inch long bolts.
I want to do this.
This was quick and fun to do. I recommend trying to make one if you get the chance.
Are those 2x6's you are using? What is the span?
If they're not 2x6 they're 2x8's . They were only cut down a little bit from their full span of 12 feet I believe. The ones on the wall were kept at full length though.
what's that great paint you're using? O.o
+itsLean ★ Ah ok! You're not painting it, you're burning it :P

Looks great, what is hight of the ceiling?
ex Those units had a height of about eleven feet (3.35m). Very spacious.
may i have link of metal bracket？

They are 2x8 beams of treated pine. They were bought at full length of about thirteen feet.
