Building a gable roof with his hands

During the construction of individual houses one of the most important steps is considered to be the installation of the roof system, so many are wondering how to make a gable roof with his hands?

Despite the fact that in recent decades there were a roof configuration, gable roof is the most common design.

technology works on the installation, mounting, and trim the roof structure worked out step by step in detail.

When using metal, slate, profiled sheet, Ondulin and other materials technology and the process remains the same as before.

preparatory stage

Before construction homes, cottages or bath with your own hands, it is necessary to develop a step by step drawings of all structural units.

The design and shape of the roof is chosen depending on the size of the building.This is taken into account is required to load, which will experience a gable roof is in operation.

smaller angle, the less it is affected by rain, snow and wind.At the same time it should be remembered that the inclination angle of less than 40 degrees restricts rational use of the attic.

equip the attic in such a case, allow only a broken form of gable roof.When the width of the house is more than 6 meters, the rafters reinforced girders.

The video shows where the runs are set and rack.

When constructing a roof for a bath more often used gable roof with a slope angle of 45 - 50 degrees.

calculating the material requirements, you must remember that the mass construction of profiled sheet should be minimal and not to create additional load on the walls and foundation.

strength of beams, boards and other lumber is determined not only by the cross-section, but the texture of wood.

Pediment can sew up the lining, if the attic will be stored only old magazines and things that throw a pity.

To determine the need for roofing material, you need to determine the area of ​​the roof.

Calculating the roof area of ​​corrugated board or other materials considered to be one of the main stages of design.All measurements must be carried out correctly and with an acceptable accuracy.

Even a small mistake can lead to unplanned additional costs for the purchase of materials.

When building a house, garage or bath maintained their own hands, every penny of what is called, in the account.

When determining the total area of ​​a gable roof, it is sufficient to calculate the area of ​​a slope and multiply by two.

such trifles as the holes for the chimney or skylight can be neglected.

Design features

Projecting gable roof and developing drawings, it is assumed that it will be based on two walls.The shape of the roof is designed in accordance with the project at home as a whole.

When erecting baths, country house or other light structures, it is more convenient to use hanging rafters.When building a large house, the most used naslonnye rafters.

In this case, truss system has a more complex configuration.The photo shows both options truss system.

During installation of the roof with his hands need to strictly observe the sequence of operations for installing the rafters.Without helpers in this case is not enough.

gable roof design for the house includes the following components and elements:

• mauerlat;
• truss system;
• skates and struts;
• crate;
• insulation;
• roofing material.

In that case, when decided to equip the attic under the roof, is more commonly used polygonal configuration.Attic limited to two slopes and two gables.

device attic requires additional costs.At the same time the construction of the house with living quarters in the attic improves comfort and its market price.

Installation mauerlat

beam that is placed around the perimeter of the house at the upper mark of the walls, called mauerlat.The upper rail takes over the entire load from the roof system and distributes it on the walls and foundation.

as mauerlat taken beams, section of which is determined by the width of the wall.Before installing it certainly is impregnated with a special solution to protect against fire and decay.

mauerlat Installation is performed in such a way that its exterior face is flush with the wall plane.

The video shows how the beam is attached to the wall with studs.Install mauerlat should be properly and securely, as it performs the function of the foundation for the gable roof system.

Video:

mauerlat Installation can be done in different ways.If the walls are built of brick, then under construction in masonry walling wire - rod.

in the rod drilled through holes, through which it passes and the wire.The next step you need to securely tighten the wire.Instead

metal wire rods can be fixed diameter of 10 mm.Bruce put on the studs and fixing nuts with large washers.

And in the first and second embodiment, mounting can be made with your own hands.In some cases mauerlat fastens its lower part of the gable.

Installing ceiling beams

In order to perform the installation floors for home use beam section 200x100 mm.For a bath or a country house-section is chosen depending on the size of the structure.

First attach the two outer beams, separated by the length of the structure.The next step should be to identify the point of fixation for the rest of the floor beams.

own hands, with a cord and tape measure the distance between the outer beams is divided into a length of 60 cm. It is with this step in the floor beams will be installed rafters.

The video shows the process.All the joists are attached to nails mauerlat 200 mm.After that, the beam is desirable to put a temporary flooring from boards or trapezoidal sheet.

Mounting can be done by means of metal parts and screws.When installing the beams is necessary to sustain the amount of removal beyond the walls.The size determines the width of removal of the cornice.

Practice shows that it is enough to be 50 - 60 cm At this stage it is necessary to provide that the roof gable ends will be sewn up..For baths or garden house, you can make it to the simplified form.

If the house is provided a broken mansard roof, the gable is a large area.And it must be possible arrangement gable overhang and low tide.

beams, tiled walls, before fastening it is necessary to align in a horizontal plane.

Mounting roof system

roof system requires the use of identical elements to each other.Once stacked and secured floor joists, performed the installation of the ridge beam.

For this set stand 100x50 mm on the center line of the house.The height of these racks should be equal to the height of the walls from the floor to the top plane mauerlat.Fasten the rack with spacers.

As the ridge beam can take the board cross section 150h50 mm.The next step - assembling the rafters.First, you need to make a template.

When the construction is carried out with your hands, you need to after each stage to control the quality of the operation.

Produce template with your own hands is very simple.Rafter board is applied to one end of the beam, and the other to the ridge beam.

both ends otcherkivayutsya control lines and saw off the extra pieces on them.The template is ready and it is possible for him to procure the right for your home or baths number of trusses.

Installation is performed in a specific order.By setting one rafter, it is necessary to fix immediately opposite.

fastened to the ridge batten is made nails, and to a beam overlap can be mounted bracket or metal brackets and screws.The video shows how it's done.

matter, sloping ceilings or regular form, under the rafters set vertical posts and horizontal crossbar.

Construction gable

Once completed the installation of truss construction, gable sutured.Build a house, and did not draw the gable is not allowed.In recent years, the gable of corrugated equip.

This quality solution, although the design of the facade, in this case there may be some difficulty.

To install gable, you must perform the installation frame.

This certainly provides a window aperture.The window in the attic is necessary for ventilation.The most common sexual sheathed pediment rail or clapboard.

When the finishing gable facade is decorated with a variety of ways.The video shows how you can decorate your house with a gable roof.

Making cornice

Rational device gable roof requires a cornice around the perimeter of the structure.Practice shows that for the baths have to sew cornice with their own hands.

Cornice designed to divert rain water from getting under the foundation.

If the structure is equipped with an overflow of the metal system, the mounting brackets must be installed ebbs and secure at this stage.

casting system is made of plastic is attached directly to the eaves.Hem the bottom ledge can be siding and sheets of corrugated board.The picture shows the drainpipe, installed on the corner of the house.

Crate and warming

first step is to fix the roof waterproofing film strip at the bottom of the ramp.To secure the rafters of her staple gun.

After that, the rafters are nailed slats counter-lathing.If the roofing insulation suggests, the film is laid on the thermal insulation material.

The video shows the sequence of work during the installation of roof pie.During the construction of baths roof insulation is not applied.

Video:

Crate in this case is carried out based on the particular roofing material.For fixing profiled sheet is the same as when using a slate.

Application sheeting increases the cost of construction, but gives it greater strength.

Design and crates device comes in two types.The first type is designed for hard material such as metal roofing, slate or trapezoidal sheet.

second type of lathing is done under the soft roof.In particular for the bath used roofing material.

Specific forms of crates and the type of roofing material is chosen at the design stage.To build a modern house with a gable roof can only be taken into account many nuances and details.

First of all, it concerns the arrangement of the roof.Do not skimp on the quality of roofing materials.However, unnecessary expenditure should be avoided.

Installing roofing material

In recent years, the market of building materials there are many new products.This trend has also affected the gable roof.

In place of the familiar and time-tested came ondulin slate and metal.The roof of corrugated steel sheeting will be long and reliably, provided it is properly installed.

Video:

order to perform roofing work with your hands, you need to be familiar with the technology and workflow.

Since being cut out metal roofing, corrugated board and provide a lift to the site of attachment.Buying roofing material, it is necessary to take the instructions on the rules of installation.

General rules

In order to build a good house to live, it is not necessary to acquire the original project.

Much better acquainted in detail with the device houses that are already built in the area.Structures with domes and spiers look attractive.

At the same time familiar gable roofs are different harmony of form and style.Their main advantage lies in the reliability and functionality.

And another advantage, it should be noted that - so the roof can be erected with his own hands with minimal effort.
