Tiled roof advice - shed
Hi,
I'm hoping some one could give me a few starting points please. I'm trying to re-use 3 walls of what's left of an old brick out house to build a log store - not really wanting to knock the rest down. With the 3 walls I was hoping to build a pent roof sloping towards the middle rear wall (i.e. no front wall where the roof at its highest. I've a load of old tiles, but currently trying to work out how to add Purlins and rafters to support these. How do you set the Purlins on the walls? And how to attach the rafter to the purlins - simply nail, joint etc? Has any one any guidance or know of useful websites? I know it would be easier to use corrugated sheets etc, but as I say I have the tiles!!! Thanks, Tim. |

I guess a starting point might be joist hangers http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.js...LAID=266902348 |

Joist hangers, or joists can be cemented into a wall. For non habitable you could use garden wood or large firewood for the roof structure. NT |

3m x 2m approx.
Thinking it may be easier to build a frame on the inside to take the roof load, independent of the walls. Similar to this, but mine just has brick walls: http://www.woodheat.org/firewood/woodshed.htm Thanks, Tim. wuold help if you gave some idea as to size.
