Moonshine Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Inherited a 10 * 8 shed, which the roof was knackered on. I have got the structure up and now onto the roof. I am using OSB for the roof and have 2.4 * 1.2m sheet However when the OSB is lined up to the ridge there is a gap at the eaves. Even with a 4ft board the extra 2cm would not cover the gap. How is this gap catered for normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Don't forget that the shed makers can possibly get 10'x5' sheets for a start. Was the roof osb originally? It's timber slats on my hand me down shed and they run up slope. You'll have to graft a strip of OSB on either at the bottom or move the whole sheet down slope (to overhang) and graft on a strip at the top. Wherever, the "graft" will need a full length supporting strip underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwr Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 You could move it down and use a ridge cap like this, if the gap is not too big: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 The original roof was osb That ridge cap is probably the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
