Use the Dindas Australia LVL Span Table Design Guides to review member options for a range of structural applications.
Select the guide that matches the specified Dindas LVL product and grade, then check the application, span, loads, support conditions and other assumptions stated in the relevant table.
Pick the right size at first go – avoid over- or under-engineering.
Save time on site – no waiting for calculations.
Cut call-backs – ensure spans meet code and perform as expected.
Stay compliant – span data tested and engineering-checked.
Easy-to-read tables built for builders, engineers, and estimators.
Developed with Dindas’ decades of engineered wood expertise.
Supported by our in-house technical team for project-specific queries.
Available nationwide through Dindas Australia’s trusted supply network.
This is the Depth x Width size of the LVL Beam (e.g.: 90x45mm). and it’s usually in the second column, after the Beam Series.
Identify the column that represents the indicated type and magnitude of the load the beam will support. (E.g.: 1200mm). This could be floor loads, roof loads or combined loads.
Cross-reference your beam size and load condition to find the maximum allowable span. This value tells you the longest distance that specific LVL beam can safely span under the given load.
Some tables also include the spacing between the beams or joists, which affects the effective span.
Note: Always ensure the selected span and beam size meet National Building Codes and safety standards.
Current Dindas LVL Span Table Design Guides are available to download from this page. Use the guide that matches the specified LVL product and grade. Additional product-specific guides may be added as they become available.
LVL span tables help builders, engineers and estimators review member options for beams, joists, rafters, lintels and other LVL applications. Selection depends on the relevant span, load, support conditions and assumptions stated in the guide.
The required LVL member size cannot be determined from span alone. It also depends on the application, loads, load width, support conditions, spacing, LVL product and project requirements. Match these details to the current Dindas span table and project documentation.
Start by identifying the application and loading assumptions. Then match the load width, support conditions and required span to the relevant LVL member size. If the project conditions do not match the assumptions stated in the guide, seek project-specific design support.
No. Use the span table and product documentation that match the specific LVL product, grade, treatment and application. Do not apply values from one LVL product or guide to another unless the current documentation supports it.
No. Span tables support member selection within the applications and assumptions stated in the guide. Final selection must also match the project drawings, engineering documentation and site requirements. Projects outside the stated assumptions require project-specific design advice.
“N/A” means that a span value is Not Available for that combination of member size and load condition in the table. Do not estimate a value from the nearest entry. Review another suitable member option or seek project-specific guidance.
Load width and support conditions affect the load carried by the LVL member and therefore its allowable span. For example, a larger load width can reduce the allowable span. Always use the column and conditions that match the project requirements.
