A Question for you Builder of Buildings types

I'm not familiar with the loads in your area - but normally 2x6's on 24oc should not be a problem as long as they are framed correctly and the proper wood is used such as Southern Pine no. 1 and not a Spruce/Pine.

Are you working from plans?

Have you considered using trusses? Initial cost may be more but they save in the installation. Most lumber yards have stock sizes ready to deliver.
