Here's the last SIP roof panel going up!!!
To hold up the SIP roof panels, beams are placed at the peak, and for long roof panels, in the middle of the panel. We decided to use 3X3 in. steel poles (brown poles) to support the beams. The steel poles are bolted to the concrete, then the beams are bolted to the steel poles and 10 or 12 in. screws are used to hold the roof panels to the beams. This gives us better hold-down for the roof during a hurricane. This view is looking at the Living Room wall and the Powder Room door.
Turning around, you can see the beams over the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen - lots of beams and steel poles! The doorway is between the Foyer and the Living Room.
This is the beam over the Master Bedroom before the SIP roof panels were put up.
