What did you board the roof with osb3 or ply ? Just out of interest and do you need to leave any expansion gaps ? Or is this not needed ?

A nice central beam ready to take a rolling block and tackle.Lovely Jubbly. I hope you put a gantry crane in, you did didn't you?
Get the pics up tomorrow bud and let the dog see the rabbit
OSB3 was used, 11mm sheets doubled up now. You can get the proper spacers but I just left a 1mm gap and then the 2nd layer of boards had the joints in different places. Technically you shouldn't need a gap with OSB as it's engineered and doesn't really shrink and swell with heat.What did you board the roof with osb3 or ply ?

Not a bad job to be fair mate...more pleasing to the eye in the valley would be doing it this way, ive shown you a hip with the sheets running vertical...reverse the idea and run a piece up the valley and then run your sheets from that like my hip pics looking at your work ime sure you could copeOK Mr Roofman, see the images below. The 1st two are the log cabin which was a kit I imported from Scandinavia in 2007. The felt was supplied but a bit thin for my liking at 2mm so I replaced it with 4mm and followed the diagrams in the build instructions except I torched it down rather than using clout nails.
Is this the "right" way? Or would I be better running along the length of the new garage roof, starting at the bottom edge and then overlapping with the next length etc until the last sheet which goes over the apex ?
Thanks. Dom.
you need cross members on that roof or it will seperate and come down in the middle
if i could id be using a metal roof on that more than torch on whatever is your preference though

Drip edge on 1st at bottom of slopes then from the bottom to the top with vertical sheets and on the 1st side over the top by 100mm...same on the 2nd slope but just Finnish to the top...then welted drips on the apex 4 sides on top of field sheets (main part). Last you need to cut 400mm ridge pieces and after you have plucked a chalked line 200mm down from the ridge all the way along just follow the line with the ridge cuts..keep it on line and the other side will run straight tooAnd that M'Lud is why amateurs like me really should pay a professional felter to do his jobs. That's so neat it's almost art.
So on my garage, with a straight apex and 2 sloping sides at about 15 degrees should I go up and over or along the length of the sides, starting from the bottom and then laying the next one up over it until I get to the apex? Ta.
If you were closer i would give you a visit but ime up on the Wirral near Chester...btw dont forget your 2 or 3mm underlay 1st or the board joints will start showing through after a couple of yearsYou is a Diamond Geezer, much appreciated.
