Batten gauge Spanish slate
- Thread starter josefmonster
- Start date
It is determined by the pitch of the roof and the exposure of the site. For a standard pitch of say 30 degrees and normal exposure a 75mm headlap is generally fine giving an approx 212mm battening gauge
i think i would go with the holes.
indeed, just saying what the standard gauge and lap would be. the 200 gauge will of course give a more than sufficient 100 headlap (unless you have a really low pitch or high exposure)
