Box Gutter and roof trusses

[noseall]

Looks like your designer has drawn plain tiles too. Can't happen with a 32 degree pitch.

It's that a drawing of a completely different extension in a town 100 miles away?

Everything is different to what is mentioned in this thread.

'Everything is different to what is mentioned in this thread.'- exactly. Think you have baffled everybody with this one akist . I would get a drawing done showing exactly what is being proposed to details that comply with building regs by somebody who understands building construction .

I think it is supposed to be a moulded gutter (plastic ?) attached to the trusses with screws/nails like battens are. I have never seen one I can only guess from this diagram.

Your designer is as ****t as the builder.

Hi,

Thanks for looking into this. I have zoomed in the plan

. Please let me know what you make of it. It looks to me like there is a vertical piece of timber attached to the end of the horizontal roof joist. And the rest looks like your drawing.

Nah it's nothing like it. It's poor design, not even design. He has not detailed how the gutter is to be formed or constructed. I suspect that that stupidly thin timber upstand has nothing to protect it from the weather or even hold it up should a pigeon decide to stand on it.
