    That's OK GMC.
    Single span is when a length of timber is only supported at each end.
    Continuous span is when a length of timber is supported at both ends plus is supported (once or several times)along its length.
    The tables refer to the different types because a single span is weaker.
    The joists in your project could be 3.6 long - they would then be continuous - or you could have 3/1.2 & they would each be a single span.

    Thats so simple... thanks

    Sometimes we need to look at the obvious, rather than look at it for the complicated

    Thanks again ausdesign
