Rosemary tiles question

gwebstech · 30 Mar 2020

Hi guys

Ive got a bay canopy to cover, and i was thinking of using rosemary tiles, but with it being a splayed bay, how do you cover the angles? - i know you can use normal roof ridges cut down but i think they always look a mess, so what else can i do?

or are there any other small or thin roof tiles that i can use? i dont know of any other way to cover it?

thanks

Lead and mopstick, or a series of lead soakers?

They might not sit right on a splayed hip...?

Good point - they are probably intended for normal hips at 45°?
There are narrow ridge tiles available which I think are intended for small porch roofs and suchlike (the usual hip tiles look ungainly on small roofs).
He could try mitreing the tiles and using lead soakers, but that would take skill and care to look good.
