Hello,
I'm trying to determine what size header I need for a pass through window that I am building. The house is a townhouse that is only 17' wide. The opening will be 5'4" wide in the middle of this 13'6 wide wall. There is already one doorway in the wall. The wall runs parallel to the front/rear walls of the house and is more or less in the middle. Also, this is on the main level; there is a level on top and a garage below.
I did my best to draw it out so that it makes sense. The pass through will be in the middle of the red wall.
I'm thinking 2x8 should be sufficient. Does anyone have any advice otherwise? I've never done this before...
Thanks!
