Jenni Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Hi, I'd appreciate some opinions please. I'm building a log store, lean-to along a 10m long wall, projecting out about 1m. Facing almost south. I've got the structure in place and just thinking about how to add the slates. The easiest option would be to ply the roof, lay membrane, then slates directly on top. This allows for each slate to be fully supported but the nails for the next slate to go where is best for the required spacing up the roof. My concern with this option is the lack of ventilation gap under the slates, but for an outdoor log store is this detrimental?! Secondly, I'd like an overhang at the front, I read that for over house gutters this would be around 50mm, but what do you think I could push this too? I was thinking 100-150mm, but is that way too much unsupported slate? Many thanks. Jenni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
