How to make a gable roof?

The answer to the question of how to correctly make a gable roof is in the system of sequential works. It is hardly possible to find a roof option easier than this. The appearance of the house, its strength and reliability determines the rafter system with the correct calculation and connection of all its elements.

How to make a simple gable roof?

Quality dried wood impregnated with antiseptic and put on it a fire retardant coating.

Mounting of the Mauerlat.

1. At the base of the roof we lay the beam on a monolithic armopoyas, which is located along the entire perimeter of the roof support.
2. We warm it from the outer and inner sides. Between the armopoyas and mauerlatom we lay waterproofing.
3. We fix the studs with a diameter of 12 or 15 mm in steps of one meter or an anchor bolt. You can tie it with a wire made of steel, which must be previously embossed in the wall. The fasteners must be between the rafters.
4. Joints are foamed with a mounting foam and securely fixed.

Installation of rafters.

Rafters are the element connecting the horse and mauerlat. So that the walls do not get wet, they are lengthened. A thick and strong tree is suitable for a skate. The weight of the load is assumed by laying, puffs and vertically arranged racks.

1. We produce two templates for the collection of trusses. To do this, we fasten a nail to a pair of boards according to the size of the rafters. Each of the free edges is placed on the support and fixed using nails and a crossbeam. The received angle is recommended to do 30 °. The second template will help you make erection cuts.
2. On the Mauerlat, we plan the location of the horizontal beams and lay them on the roof in steps of 80cm. We fasten them in the center with nails and pins due to the elongation of 50 cm of each element. If the beams rest on the central wall, which above the wall along the perimeter of 5 cm, a gap is obtained for the ceiling filing.
3. We fasten the Mauerlat with the beams.
4. We mark the rafters and cut the necessary quantity. In the upper part of the rafters we make a cut under the skate, it helps to connect the rafters with the ridge. Since the rafter does not reach the center of the ridge, it is cut by half the thickness of the ridge board. At the bottom of the rafters make a cutout for the adhesion of it to the wall.
5. Before we get down to work, we attach a straight board from the pediment. We nail it to the wall in the middle of the building. It serves to align the roof frame.
6. The first fix the gable rafters, preliminary having made in them the slots for the cantilever beams. We fix on the beams the second pair of rafters and we put a ridge between them. We check the parallelism of the ridge to the ground, measuring the distance from the beam to the ridge. Temporarily fix under it a board of the required height. With the help of such boards we level the height of the ridge, they also do not let it sink.
7. Straighten the angle between the ridge and the wall. For this, it is necessary that the rafters touch the vertical board, after which add a constant slope.
8. We fix the entire skate, and then we nail the rafters to it, every 3 m we tie them to the wall.
9. We fix the remaining rafters to the top of the walls with a spacer. It is nailed with two nails, then under a slope to the strapping, we hammer three nails in the junction of the beams and fasten the back of the spacer. Many use special fasteners from reinforced galvanized corners.
10. We fix the rafters with support beams and supports.
11. We cut the cantilever beams and fasten the fronts.
12. The ends of the rafters are hidden behind the cornice.
13. Over the rafters we put the vapor barrier and we make the control.
14. Between the rafters lay the insulation sheets.
15. We close the insulation with a film.
16. Using the slats, we make the ventilation gap.
17. We begin to install the main material of the roof .
