Membrane under bottom plate

The ABCB Housing Provisions don't specifically deal with damp-courses under timber frames. The assumption is that they will be used in brickwork or under concrete slabs. However, it can be a useful precaution to place a damp-course under the outside wall of a timber frame that is seated on a concrete slab. While problems rarely arise if no damp-course is present, occasionally slabs are subject to edge dampness.

Supplement no. 5 to Australian Standard 1684.2-2010 for non-cyclonic areas tells us that in N1/N2 wind areas 190 x 45 MGP 12 rafters @ 600mm centres will span 5.3m. That's for a single span (supported only at each end).
