Help - I have completed fixing the plates to the single brick wall of my newly built garage and have fixed the trusses to give a pitch of 22.5 degrees. My wife has finally decided on a fake slate tiled roof. Do I need to place board down over the wind-proof net onto the trusses, or can I go straight into laying battens over the netting and then fixing the slates? If I do not require to use any boarding, how do I seal the gable ends where the slates meet the last truss. Final question- I have no ridge pole, therefore do I need to place noggins in between the apex of the trusses to take the mortar fix for the ridge tiles, or is there a Company that provides a purpose made ridge cover or tile?Any help will be gratefully received.
Cheers, and a Happy New Year to all
Jon
