Skillion Roof erection Procedure

So in this video We're going to have a look at the erection procedure for a skillion or a flat roof I'm going to start with a equal height top plate although as you'll see in the video no reason why you can't vary heights as you go you'll see that as we proceed so once again if you're going to have a flat ceiling underneath the skillion you need to consider that as you go and you need to mark that out in conjunction with your skillion Roof and As usual, I'll get rid of that just to save some Confusion, and then we'll get into it so the first thing You need to do is to create your skillion or Monopitch Single Pitch Roof is obviously one Side needs to be higher than the other so you can do this by building a little jack wall on top of your existing wall or possibly if you've Have the situation this wall could have been constructed at a higher height to start with That's normally preferable because the break in the studs here may cause some bracing issues It's normally preferable to bring your studs through full height and the next job rafters go on rafters on a Skillion Roof generally will have a very shallow Birdsmouth both ends However, if there is flat enough then sometimes that's not even worth putting a bird's mouth in it Okay, but generally we'll have a small birds mouth at both ends, and I have another video I'm showing you how to work out where where they go Once you get your rafters in position. You can transfer this height across on your wall and at the other end you Transfer this point of the study Bird's mouth across and cut in a verge plate And obviously to support the verge plate, we're going to need some gable studs and Once again, I have another video that shows how you can easily calculate the length of these studs with very little calculation So once that's done at both ends. We can then put our trimmers in for our overhang and our verge rafter Which is exactly the same as our common rafters except there's no birdsmouth cut out Ceiling frame we bring back into play you can see how it all ties in depending on how flat the roof is you may actually have to move this hanger across a little bit more because if the roofs too flat it the hanger may hit on the Rafters, so it might have to go across it a little bit more And that's it. That's the procedure for erecting a Skillion or a Mono pitched roof
