Thanks. That’s good to know. Maybe it’s me just not used to this but this was 40mph and we’re fairly regularly get 60+ so slightly worried what that will look like. (Ignore the internal drips …. Haven’t sealed the top yet 😬 My Movie 1-1080p30H.mov

Shared some dimensions. Yes I think it’s been designed with heavier and more timbers than necessary.

Thanks yes will go back to the designer. Looking back at the designs I can’t see any straps specified. I’m wondering if it’s because the panel above the window is so small that it doesn’t need much and is has a structural pocket so the ridge glulam is essentially holding it together… I’d prefer something else though! The main structure is below the window and tied into the side walls and floor so not an issue. Any further advice welcome.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m wondering about taking out the bottom 2” of noggin and then adding a soffit vent underneath. Do you think that would work?

window is SW facing. 40-50mph today but that’s fairly common here so not concerned what it will be like when we get to 70+ which is a few times a year. The window is approx 2 x 1.5m

Thanks. Going to go back to the manufacturer & installer to see what they say but keen to strap up. If still got temporary timber ties in place so not worried about it going anywhere yet. The ridge glulam is going to be exposed so can’t strap along there where it will be exposed . I can go onto the horizontal glulam. Would welcome any advice. Thank you

I don’t know that this needs anything extra but it was recommended by the supplier as we’re in a windy location. I’m just looking for advice on how to tie in. I’m going to take out the small brackets that were temporarily put in as will interfere with the osb but looking for suggestions of how to strap the gable into the roof structure effectively and without interfering with anything. Thanks

Just wondering if it’s normal for double glazed window glass to flex in the wind? We have one large window on the gable end that the glass is visibly flexing in the wind so I’m wondering if this is likely to be a problem or not?

I’m still trying to work out the insulation ventilation detail. We have a large overhanging roof along the side if the house but will need to enable ventilation above the insulation. The challenge is creating this ventilation gap and working out the best way to do it as the noggins are close to the external wall (see photo). My thought is to over run the rigid insulation beyond the wall plate to butt up against the noggin. Then drill holes in the top of the noggin and vent from there. however I’m also thinking that this would prevent air from exiting top of the cladding So any thoughts or suggestion would be really appreciated. Thanks for all the advice.

Still looking for advice on this if anyone is able to share any expertise? Thanks

Thinking of getting a mixture of the stainless flexible mesh and this closure: https://weatherboardsupplies.co.uk/product/30mm-x-40mm-perforated-closure-2-5m/ any reason to go for one vs the other. I’d use the angled trims above and below battens and flexi mesh at other openings. Wondering if the difference in material is significant but clearly both made for the job. Really appreciating everyone’s insights and advice, thank you

Thanks for the tips. Did you find it stayed tight enough or is likely to sag and open up along the cladding face?

Ps the angled trims look a lot more expensive.

Thanks. Yes the first link looks good… easier to install but struggling to see how to get the exact width when it’s only multiples of 10mm 🤷‍♂️… I must be misunderstanding something.
