Snow Load on Roof

Post by SS » Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:32 pm

I am looking for the structural information on a 1987 Zimmer Castlewood model home. It's a double wide, 28x56. I need to know how the roof was designed and what the snow load rating (psf) is. Can anyone help?

Probably be hard to find such information, but my guess is that the trusses are either made of 2x2's or 2x3's and spaced every 16" (some are spaced 24"). I'd keep a roof rake handy if you get too much snow.
