Slate Roofing - DIY


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

I made this bit of roof out of bits of timber that were lying around on site - the ridge was in an old shed we had to knock down to make way for the house...so it's at least 30 years old.

Wall straps put in yesterday

Pleased I thought to make a space for a soffit so that I can disguise the banana  shaped front wall

So, it's a few hours on YT -again- so I can work out the batten positions. I think I have enough spare discarded 4 by 2 to cut up and make my own battens.

 

Anyone got a link to decent online roofing  (as in DIY your own roof)?
