What Size Header For 8 Foot Span Load Bearing Wall. Formulas that determine the allowable span and size of a beam rely on a host of variables like species, grade, size. I am unsure what size the header should be.

I know how to properly build out the king and jack studs, and if this weren't load bearing i'd just put in cripple studs, but since this is load bearing i figure on installing sistered 2x? Hi there, building a 4*2 load bearing timber wall and wondering what size header it needs and also if it needs a larger than 4*2 sole plate. Includes span tables for all load bearing locations and the number of jack studs.
I have read conflicting advice as to the size of header required.one person said a 12*2 was required.
The wall is a load bearing wall. So you know what size your opening will be, your exploratory surgery came across no serious obstacles, and your header i have a beam that spans 37 feet, the first 8 feet has a load bearing wall, the next 8 feet is open, then there is a little wall with some steel posts that is.
