Construction Methods In France Questions
-
Yeah Tig I've asked him what sizes he can get, haven't heard back yet. Our 6x6 are actually 5.5" x 5.5", 6x8 are 5.5" x 7.5".
how about the post to beam connectors, do they even use those there?
what French search terms would I use to search for a lumber (timber) yard in Cannes?
-
There are similar timber connectors used across the EU, just like your showed.
But most of France is not that seismically active.
But using such connectors wouldn't hurt at all !
Their house might fall down but your gazebo will stand !Obviously in the USA your nominal:actual sizes lose -1/2" - in the EU it's more likely -6mm [-1/4"] - our timber is more scarce and expensive, and our planers more precise ? !
You need to get your Cannes client to confirm what finished timber sizes are available locally...
"Please conform what regularized timber sizes are available locally: 5cm to 20cm inclusive"
"Veuillez vous conformer aux tailles de bois régularisées disponibles localement: 5cm à 20cm inclus" -
Good Info Tig! How about those search terms, if you speak French?
-
cour à bois à Cannes France?
chantier bois à Cannes France?
what do they call places that sell lumber / timber?
-

a sawmill ? = une scierie
or any building materials distributor = distributeur de matériaux de construction

Yes but Cannes is like San Fransisco! Near by the sea and inside a seismic zone!
We are waiting a big one too! Earthquake or Tsunami or both in the same time!
See what append year after year in Italy!
A famous French volcanologist Haroun Tazieff has predicted that!
Cannes - Nice 34 kms !
From this Map : Cannes is on orange zone = moderated seismicity
-
Yes I agree, I wish I was brought up using metric, would make it a lot easier to do all the calculations carpenters need to make!

Could not agree more. In my early school days Australia was imperial but changed to metric in about 1975 so I have a perspective on the subject. I was originally a firefighter and 1 ft of water had a head of 0.433 pounds per square inch. cubic foot (62.4 lb/ft3); dont get me started
1 cubic meter of water weighs 1 tonne. All of a sudden fire-ground hydraulics could be done in your head by moving decimal points.Three countries on the entire planet which are not using the metric system are Liberia, Myanmar and of course… the United States of America

What do you call posts and beams in the UK, and when you talk about wall and floor framing do you use 'framing'?
how about in France, Poteaux et poutres?
floor framing in France, charpente du plancher?
-
You misunderstood my question Pilou.
-
Poteaux = Vertical
Poutres = Horizontal or inclinedfloor framing = l'ossature du plancher, la structure du plancher, le support du plancher...la charpente du plancher
-
Sure!
Poteaux / Poutres ?
An image can better explain than a text! -
This is floor framing
this is wall framing
and these are the posts and beams
-
My questions are
What do you call posts and beams in France, Poteaux et poutres?
and floor framing, charpente du plancher ?
-
Ok! So what is the question(s) ?
If this exist also in France ?Put "ossature bois" inside google research image!
"plancher à ossature bois"
"charpente à ossature bois"
"mur à ossature bois" -
Affirmative!
Post = Poteau (un poteau, le poteau)
Beam = Poutre (une poutre, la poutre)floor framing = l'ossature du plancher, la structure du plancher...la charpente du plancher!

Thank you Frenchy, say, is all that artwork on your site digital or do you do any traditional artwork?
-
Only digital, but it's just hobbyist relaxing for explore crazzy progs!
