Can anyone tell me if this is how I SHOULD set up a flying rafter:
- Noggins (or are they sprockets?) at 600mm centres nailed to the last normal rafter and passingi through gaps in the gable end wall
- Flying rafter nailed to noggins
- Barge board nailed to flying rafter
If so:
- Should the ridge beam be long enough also to span the gable wall and have the top of the flying rafter fixed to it? or should ridge noggins be used?
- If there a limit on the noggin length (presumably 450mm to cover the gable wall plus overhang is about usual)?
- Is nailing the noggins adequate, or should they be strapped across the top?
I have seen in various places that the roofing underfelt should be nailed to the top of the barge board, the tile battens should stop 50mm short of the external edge of the barge board, and the tile undercloak should be wide enough to be held down under the battens - but should it be nailed to the flying rafter?
