Roger440 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nice job My guys screwed down every third ridge for what its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Fitted the barge boards today. Here's what I ended up doing at the apex- a single board cut and bent in the middle to provide amore weathertight cap. I scored and then folded the cut edge so as to preserve the PVC coating, and gave any bare metal a quick going over with a can of zinc spray. Maybe a bit OTT but it worked out quite well. Pic shows the barge board from the inside, prior to bending it to match the ridge angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Once these are up; the join (overlap at the ridge) will be all but invisible from the ground but some folk like to set it off with a diamond shape of wood to match the cladding. Matter of taste really but one hutting neighbour spent ages with a jig saw making animal silhouettes...a rabbit and duck if I recall. Lots of people stop, comment and smile away? However, it's nice to add a makers mark due you your build being as near as damn a 100% solo creation. Worth a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I did think about a wee cover piece, but I had visions of it splitting and falling off and generally being a bit of a pain to maintain. But you have given me an idea... I have a friend who does wood carving, might see if he's up for doing something. But then it wouldn't be all my work... hmmm...

Oz07 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Reviving this thread. Anyone have the kahunas to risk a box profile on a garage with 3" of fall over 3m?! Obviously against manufacturers recommendations but I've come across fibre cement roofing at similarly low pitches which hadn't leaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It will depend on any joins in the length of a sheet, if you can go from ridge to verge in one sheet then it shouldn’t be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 +1 to the above note on a single sheet, mine is and not very steep, no leaks in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got 1:33 or so, that’s not a shallow slope and will shed water quickly. The wall detail will be the main point to get right as it’s there that water may pool if it snows etc. Worth looking at ensuring that is as watertight as possible and the lower end is free flowing.

I have a conservatory which is approx 100mm over 4.2m, and that has been fine except when the wind blew water back under the point where the flashing attached not quite sufficiently to the roof. if you use a formed piece of roofing at the wall that should be OK .. I used the original Ubiflex, which was problably a bit too much Ubiunflex. THe lighter version of that should be fine, or a formed piece.

Oz07 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 will be mono pitch spanning two brickwork walls. Will bargeboard be suitable at top end? (with roof sheets slightly proud of wall) then maybe line of silicone on underside at bottom to stop capillary. I'd prefer cement sheets so no condensation but can't seem to get at over 3m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I’d use one of the bonded flashings such as Sika Multiseal and tape it up the wall behind the barge board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalAnna Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi there, we're new to the forum and learning lots by reading and making notes. We are looking for some advice on flashings for Fakro rooflights that we are fitting into a box profile roof. We would really appreciate if anybody could share any experiences in this matter.
