What: Installing a 12' slider in place of a 9' atrium on a load bearing outside wall. The adjoining room has a tray ceiling (aka Coffer Vault), the tray meets the outside wall at an angle. (there is not a horizontal flat surface on the outside perimeter of the room)
The current header spans the 9' door. Three lvl's are spec'd to support the new 12' span.
Question:
What is the best way to temporarily support the roof load?
Couple thoughts:
- There is a deck outside the door. Install a temp wall on the deck under the rafter tails on the outside edge of the soffit?
- Install a temp wall inside the room at the point the inside ceiling goes flat? (about 3' in from the outside wall)
- (&) Install an angled support wall against the side of the tray vault?
Thank you for your thoughts.
