The number of rafters needed for a roofing project depends on several factors, including the roof's span, pitch, and the type of materials used. Typically, rafters are spaced 16 to 24 inches apart, so you can calculate the total number by dividing the total length of the roof by the spacing distance. Additionally, local building codes and the specific design of the roof may influence the total number required. It's best to consult with a structural engineer or a roofing professional for precise calculations.

To determine the number of rafters needed for a 26-foot yurt, you typically space the rafters evenly around the yurt's circumference. A common spacing is about 3 feet apart, which would suggest needing around 8 to 10 rafters, depending on the exact design and structural requirements. It's best to consult specific yurt construction guidelines for precise measurements and spacing recommendations.
The number of rafters needed for a 12-foot roof depends on the spacing between them, which is typically 16 or 24 inches on center. For example, if you space them 24 inches apart, you would need about 7 rafters for a 12-foot span. If spaced 16 inches apart, you would require about 9 rafters. Always consult local building codes and structural guidelines for accurate planning.

"Full to the rafters" means that a place is filled to capacity, as if everything were stuffed in there until it touched the rafters, or the supports for the ceiling.
The question must 1st be asked is "what spacing do you plan to use?" Local codes will apply of course. Up North spacing is closer than that of the South because of snow loads. 16 inches on center is a good number to use. You said rafters but I wonder if you meant trusses. Another problem with answering the question is the roof design. For a ranch style house you would simply multiply the length in feet by 3 and then divide that by 4 and add one for the end this will give you the number of trusses you need. For rafters you need to multiply your number by 2 and add 4 for the barge rafters.

The recommended spacing for pergola rafters is typically between 12 to 24 inches apart, depending on the size of the rafters and the design of the pergola.
