Extra lateral support is required between the joists. In NZS304 clause 7.1.2.4, this can being either be:The joists may be cantilevered at each end beam or terminate flush with the end beams. Joists that cantilever allow for the use of longer joists than those that terminate at the outside face of the beam. Four very popular types of spindle are usually used the Square, Chamfered, Colonial and American and each of them can be installed using a universal hand/base rail shown here. The spindles are held in place simply by fixing the infill strips between each spindle in both the top and bottom rails. C16 Timber: C16 is the most commonly used form of timber. It can be used in many different applications and is the most cost effective option. C16 timbers are kiln dried to minimise the amount of moisture in the wood. This grade of timber which is commonly used in internal construction such as floors, walls and roof joists is not only cost effective, it has the strength and other properties such as bending, compression and density which are required for construction. As strong, versatile and cost effective this grade of timber might be, it does have some defects, such as grain deviations which may affect the strength of the timber as well as some cosmetic defects such as sap stains and sometimes and an uneven surface.

Beam Configuration – Ledger to Beam, Free Standing (joists resting on beam), or Joist Hangers (joists attached to beam sides with hangers) Wood treatment or joist tape:Be sure to apply wood treatment or joist tape to every cut end of lumber to prevent moisture damage and warping. Different types of wood, even within species, have different physical characteristics and strengths. Growing conditions also contribute to the variations making timber from one area more desirable for different projects. Tables and span calculators frequently provide joist dimensions, span, and spacing values based on a dead load of 10 pounds per square foot (PSF or psf) and a live-load of 40psf. The height off the ground, wind-load, snow-load, soil-load capacity, and potential seismic forces also factor into the span. are required are given in 4.8m lengths so there is as little joins as possible. All screws are supplies.

Some formulas take the bending, compression, and breaking values for wet or dry wood that are based on predetermined values for different species to determine safe loads over specified distances. The formulas have been used to calculate the spans and spacing on different tables in the Building Codes, and are the values used by different calculator algorithms. For example, if you’re using southern yellow pine lumber for your joists, the allowable cantilever overhangwould be 3′ for 2-by-10 joists spaced 16″ apart and spanning 12′ total. I know it's done now but 1200 / 400 = 3... so the joints would sit on a joist just fine.. you could always have doubled up at the joins if you were concerned.. A bubble level:If you’re working alone, a bubble level will help you measure straight lines when installing joist hangers.
