Rafters in typical residential construction are usually spaced 16 or 24 inches apart. The spacing will depend on the design of the roof, the load the roof needs to support, and local building codes.
This will depend on many things including:the spacing between the rafters;the spacing between the studs;the pitch of the roof;the wind zone;the type of fixings being used; andthe span of the rafters.Contact your local authority or a competent local builder or architect regarding what can be done in your area.
