Four-high roof - is it worth it to use this option?
Any form of roof has its advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, the advantage of the presented type is the external beauty of the device, as well as improved warming of the attic. The size of the attic space becomes much larger in size than with the arrangement of other types of structures.
Especially the four-bed is a fairly solid, stable and functional roof. However, there is a drawback - the complexity of the installation, and the entire roof is very heavy. It is impossible to arrange it yourself, but a couple of partners will completely correct the situation.
The area of the four-slope roof is computed necessarily and depends a lot on the complexity of its configuration. If the roof has the shape of a pyramid, then to calculate its area you need to know a simple formula for finding the area of the pyramid. In principle, it is necessary to calculate the area of each ramp separately. All calculations must be checked.
Ridge roof system - where should the construction begin?
Before the four-pitch roof starts to grow above your house, you need to pick up all the necessary material and tools. It is also not superfluous to draw a design on paper. Materials will need: thermal insulation, waterproofing, steam insulation, wooden beams for trussing, roofing material, material for the crate. From tools: a drill, a screwdriver, a hammer, nails, screws, level, tape measure( other tools may be needed).
First of all, the must be mounted on the truss roof system. To begin with, the foundation of the system is being set up, after which vertical rafters will be installed and, in fact, a structure under the roof.
Next, a ridge bar is installed, for which the level and the plumb line are used. Now you can fasten the slanting rafters, from which the planes of the future roof are formed together with the overhang( up to 1 meter depending on the maximum wind strength in the region).
Further side rails and intermediate rafters are mounted. It should be borne in mind that the roof can be heavy, so the roofing system needs to be maximally strengthened.
Construction of a gable roof - the final stage of the
After the construction of the structure, the device of a four-slope roof provides for the manufacture of the crate .For this, wooden boards( 50 or 40 mm) are also used. The material must be high-quality and well-dried.
Before laying the battens it is necessary to lay a film that will isolate the roof from steam and moisture. The film is fastened with a stapler. Naturally, one should not forget about the thermal insulation, which is settled in the attic space. After this, the device is made of a four-tiled roof.
Further, the construction of a four-slope roof provides for the laying of the roofing material .You can choose the roofing material to your own taste. Naturally, it is necessary to take into account the shape and strength of the structure.
It is necessary to secure the material firmly and accurately, and do it so that the rain can not penetrate inside, and the wind - to tear off the fragments of the roof. If, however, you do not fully understand the written instructions on how to make a four-pitched roof, the video can be found at the end of this article.
