The roof boarding is already cut to the
correct length so that you only have to
lay the boards from front to back.
Start at the front and align the
fi
rst
board
fl
ush at the front with the ridge
purlin/fascia board. Make sure that you
align the board exactly with the centre
of the ridge purlin. This is necessary
to avoid protruding wood at the ridge
which would prevent the mounting of
the opposite boards.
Now nail the boards twice to the ridge
purlin and the fascia board. Lay the
roof boarding all the way to the back.
Measure in regular intervals to ensure
that they are properly aligned and that
the spacing to the wall is consistent.
The backmost board needs to be cut to
size in most cases. Afterwards, mount
the remaining boards on the other side
as described above.
Now mount the gable boards at the
front and back. Fix the gable boards
with screws to the roof boarding and
the ridge purlin; the spacing between
the upper edge of the gable board and
the upper edge of the roof boarding
should be approx. 5-6 cm. It may help
if you indicate the centre on the ridge
purlin with a pencil line. This will keep
you from unintentionally exceeding the
centre of the ridge purlin.
Mount the fascia boards with screws to
the roof boarding.
Make sure the upper edge of the
board does not extend beyond the
roof boarding.
