How do you build a roof?

Answer 1

Before you begin, it is important for you to sort the design and then get the necessary permits from your district council.

Now, if you are planning to rebuild the roof, then you need to start by framing it. Order the trusses for the design you made or acquired. The measurements need to be exact and the trusses can be expensive. he information you will need when ordering trusses are Slope, Size of rafters Spacing of rafters Length of overhang Location and size of ceiling joists Size of ridge beam and any other bearing beams and Load Weight.

Inspect the wood when you get your order to make sure it is adequate.

Follow the design specifications from the blueprints and complete the framework.

Next, you need to sheet the roof. Make sure you start to sheet the roof from the bottom and make your way up. Use the nails and nail the plywood to the frame of the roof.

Lay out once side at a time, and cut the plywood to fit on the edges..

Now, apply the felt paper on the roof, To do so, get the tar paper and have it ready to go. Roll the tar paper across the plywood of the roof until you make sure it is completely covered in the tar paper.

Finally, you need to apply the shingles. Shingles are mainly used to protect the roof from rain water.

First, drag the bundles of shingles to the roof.

Use the nail gun and start from the lowest corner.

Next, start nailing it the shingle 1 on each sides.

Work you way until one side is finished. Go to the beginning and add next layer.

When you have finished with all sides of the roof, you can use single shingles to shingle the corners of the roof. Again, start from the bottom and work up.

Hope this helps.
