Cutting rafter for velux


Recommended Posts

Hopefully a simple one. I have Velux to fit, sized perfectly to fit between the rafters if I cut one in the middle. All very standard.

 

However, the annoying thing is that the clay pantiles don't line up evenly with the flashing. So I am thinking that I should cut two rafters to get the window in exactly the right place. Its either that, or I have to cut the pantiles.

 

Does that seem sensible? I'll be doubling up the rafters on either side and the trimmers.

Basically this image from the Facro guide, but two rafters cut instead of one. And everything doubled up, bolted etc. All to get the pantiles aligned like in the pics. If I don't cut the second rafter, I'm about half a pantile out of alignment.
