  • @absurdbird @TW these photos might help. I’m about 99% sure these can be taking any load from the roof. I can’t see a purlin and these knee wall posts end at the roof sarkin. Based on there size I’d say these were just used as knee wall posts for previous lath and plaster walls as you can see in one of the photos.

    But I have no real idea so advise/help very much appreciated.

  • Yeah, I agree these aren’t structural to the roof.
    Fine to remove IMO.
    Is there a purlin visible the other side of the knee wall? Any cross ties?
    I’m just wondering how the roof is constructed- there are so many ways and regional variations.

  • No purlin visible. We have collar ties visible at ceiling height though.

    Could it just be roof rafters and collar ties?
