Hi all,
quick question...
warm deck flat roof being installed, approx 6mx6m. Just relaised I've forgot to install roof straps along the side walls (at 1m) where joists run parallel to the side walls. These straps should have attached above 3 x joists and over noggings and the other end built into the wall.
Well, thats not going to happen now - the walls are already built and the joists have firring attched to the tops and OSB deck screwed in.
There is no wall plate on top of the inner skin.
There is wall plate on top of external skin but thats mostly for the purpose of a nailer (100x50mm) as roof perimeter for fixings/profiles. It will be an EPDM roof.
Strapping at the other walls is simple as it would take twisted strap on selected joist.
Any advice on how to remedy this please.
Thanks
G
