Slant Roof Framing

Once your walls are uneven you can build a slanted roof to fit.

Slant roof framing.

The coating material for a slanted shed roof can be varied. However you can also frame the roof so that one side of the frame is bigger than the other sides giving the slant. It s similar to a shed or lean to roof or a clerestory roof but has one visible difference. I wanted a simple roof.

Welcome to part 4 of our shed build showing the roof framing sheathing and papering. Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. The framing of a basic gable roof is based on a right angle triangle and the various roof framing components fit the triangle. I decided on a slanted roof.

If both walls are the same height you can either raise one by adding plates to it or you can build a frame for the wall separately and then install this on top of the wall. If you want to make a slanted shed roof then you will need to frame the roof properly so that it is completely supported one method of achieving the slant in your roof is to have one of the walls higher than the other. It must be clearly equals to thirty five degrees. Slate metal tiles shingle and others.

And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse. At the same time the folded roof may vary in the slant from eighteen degrees. The metal roof installation will be shown in a future video. It has a greater slope.

I didn t want ridges or valleys which are a lot of work and can leak. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle.
