epsilonGreedy Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This is my situation. Today I was going to add more longitudinal stiffener to my roof trusses, then it rained for 30 minutes. The stiffener battens are rough sawn with a 22mm x 100mm cross section and seem to soak up water. I store the battens in a dry space but the first batten of the day was positioned yesterday afternoon ready for fixing. Should I delay fixing for a couple of hours post rain?

joe90 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 No, get them fixed in place. They will soon dry out once the roof is covered, I have built cut roofs in the rain before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If rain/damp stopped play, nothing would EVER be built in Scotland! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
