Thanks for the pointers Woody. The first thing to say is this build is an odd shape, to make the most use of the space in my garden (see my Sketchup videoThe noggins and fascia is not right - they are following the slope of the roof by the looks of things.
Also, take the furrings right to the roof edge not just stopped at the joist end. And don's feather furrings down to nothing, everyone does and you end up with a flat or uneven end and ponding on the roof at the eaves when the deck boards run over and don't sit on the furring. 5 or 10mm is preferred.
And at the other end, make sure they are high enough for the span to give you a proper fall - again most people just rip down a 3 or 4x2 corner to corner, and that's crap.
Noggins should be level with the underside of the joists.The noggins and facia are for the overhang, so should follow the slope of the roof, please elaborate on why this is incorrect
Hi, Yes, mine worked out OK, roof completed. I used nails (ring shank nails with nail gun) and wood glue, for extra hold and strength. I have a YT channel with a few videos and info, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPI8uTpbKKyAc_ZNckf_1nw?view_as=subscriberHow did you get on with this speedyrazor? Im about to do something similar but i am having a 2 way fall.... going to each side of my outbuilding.....my firrings will sit on the joists also and run from 94mm-0mm over 4.8m (a bit like a miniature apex).
What screws did you use to fix the firrings down and id you use any glue?
thanks.
