Reply With QuoteSometimes you can have a significant beam down the centre, which takes the roof load in combination with the exterior walls. It doesn't look like a large beam though? It does look like it's been there a while though.
Exposed Rafter Ceiling, structurally sound? Does anyone know what type of ceiling this would be described as? I'm a little concerned that there are no beams joining the 2 side together..

Looks like a pretty small ridge from the pictures and doesn't look like a standard coupled or non-coupled roof. Maybe it was specifically engineered with those short rafters taking the load into that high wall?
Did something similar with my house by bolting rafters at the apex, opposing rafters are cantilevered to achieve the design.
Looks like a standard Cathedral ceiling to me if that was what you were after

Exposed Rafter Ceiling, structurally sound? The thing is, if it was a standard cathedral ceiling the ridge beam should be a lot bigger as it has a reasonable span.
It may have hidden elements like blocking that is under the plaster sheeting
