    Default Rafters and battens to deck roof?

    Have 200x50 F17 HW rafters to new deck spanning 5000mm, at what centres should these be placed?

    same with roof bettens 50x38 HW - what centres?

    Thanks

    EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention its for a colorbond/zinc roof

    5 metres is outside the scope of the span tables, but I would think 900mm centres assuming it's a sheet roof.

    For the battens, they're a bit on the small side. Span tables say 600mm centres.

    yeah i thought the battens might be a bit small but should they suffice?
