With the rafters on, things are getting a lot easier and quicker to complete. Next we worked on the felt and batten. The felt provides a waterproof barrier if any of the tiles crack - not essential, but useful. We then spaced the batten in rows 290mm apart as this is the right length for the tiles to overlap enough so theres lots of clearance. Ultimately the lugs on the machined tiles will rest on the batten, but will be hidden by the reclaimed, handmade tiles on top. I'll explain that better next time. Then we added aged oak feet onto the bottom of the rafters with traditional curved detail. These will be visible from the outside and is technically cheating....but a lot cheaper. We then boarded on top on top of this with 3 rows of green oak. This part is mostly aesthetic, but i think really looks incredible! Enjoy!

If eventually some tiles break over the course of time and the rain pours down below over the cloth and those boards holding the cloth, the boards are eventually going to rott and the roof is going to leak. That's why in my country we put boards over the cloth along the beams and after that we put the boards horizontally to hold the tiles. This way if tiles break the rain runs below the boards and the roof is much more resistant to leaking if strong winds are pushing water beneath tiles and if some tiles break. These kinds of roofs can last a 100 years even with all the beams and boards seting and twisting over time.

True, but the issue you're describing is not as serious as that with these flexible cloths (not as serious as what happens with rigid insulation panels, for instance). As water drips on to the cloth, its weight flexes the cloth and it is able to drain beneath the horizontal strips. The method you are describing naturally allows for this, though, and is what I would call "good practice", although many construction companies will skip the vertical strips in order to save money, depending on the size of the project, especially nowadays.

The very last part of the video were you screwed the batting on top of the felt ? Into the wood under the felt were is the water to go If you get a broken tile and you get a leak 🤷‍♂️ as I don’t see a gap so you may get a build up of water at the bottom don’t you think 🤔

1.15 into the video using batten stick to gauge battens, roof batten is not regularised it will be all over the place by the time you get a few courses on .Mark it with a tape and use a chalk line.

If there is a leak and the water runs down underneath the tiles won't you have a problem when the water starts to pool at the second from last batten?

@gartenfreude796 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly. Thats the reason, why the felt is secured in line with rafters, so that the water can run down into the gutter. The batten comes on top of that construction.

@MrJohnandMargie 2 жыл бұрын

You should have used counter battens, then battens or you trap any leakage against the battens. You also put sarking at bottom on wrong side up for the same reason….and water will lie in the bottom lip of the overlap. But to start with I would have stripped the whole roof and covered it with Stirling board first. Then on completion inserted kingspan between the joists. Proper insulated.

@Helloverlord 5 жыл бұрын

Very strange roofing - is it typical in your area? Cause water barrier will collect water just before planked overhang as it cant go up - then it will freeze there, creating more barrier and so on...and even lowest 1"x 2" has no perforation and again water has nowhere to go again - will rot that wood for sure.

@1starshot 5 жыл бұрын

That's right. They've pulled the membrane/water barrier too tight, it should sag an inch between each rafter all the way up the roof creating valleys for any water to run down under the battens if it gets past the tiles. As you say, any water will come to a full stop and collect where they have screwed the battens down onto planked overhang. Battens will rot eventually if they constantly get wet. I imagine the roof will still last a very long time though. 10 out of 10 for effort, we all make mistakes.

@carlroge 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for both of your comments, definitely interesting to get second thoughts. As for the felt, with the weight of the water it does run down in a valley. As for the last batten screwed to the overhang, we'll look into creating drain aways such as you see on canoe gunwales. We approached it from the mindset that the felt gives us time to repair any cracks or slips in the tiles. If the felt is getting consistently wet, the roof is clearly not working, so we've made sure the roof is as resilient as possible.

@winterroadspokenword4681 4 жыл бұрын

@@carlroge Adding to what Helloverlord said, what you really need to do if using wood planking as an overhang is make sure that the overhang wood finishes flush with the top of the rafters so the water has a clear path down. If you tacked half inch strips underneath final battens on each rafter then the water wouldnt touch the last batten and would last far longer. tile will kick out water more, but, tbh that is a common feature on old properties anyway.

@johnnythomas8036 4 жыл бұрын

to be fair the felt sags and stretches as you walk and work over it.

@chrishaug 3 жыл бұрын

@@johnnythomas8036 yeah its done wrong. you should have the felt first, then boards going down and then boards on top of that going from side to side. and then attach the tile to the last boards. that way water that will get under the tile can run down and away. this will rot over time..thats why old roof held up, no felt that trapped water. water must drain of or evaporate, otherwise it will destroy anything over time

Why would you use a chaulk line to position the felt but not use it when lathing? Never ever seen anyone gauge with 2 bits of timber ha! Another tip. Nail the top corner of the felt then roll it to the other side. Pull tight and fix then drop back to where you first nailed & pull that tight. Magic. No creases in the felt

Hallo Leute, hier liegt ein Konstruktionsfehler vor. Ich bin gelernter Zimmermann und was passiert wenn man auf der Unterspannbahn direkt die Querlatte anbringt? Sobald Kondenswasser von den Dachziegel abtropft, läuft die Wasserbildung an die Querlatte. Holz und Wasser vertagen sich leider nicht, und das Holz (die Latte) verschimmelt. Es gehört immer eine Längslatte auf den Sparren und dann die Querlatte auf die der Dachziegel eingehängt wird. Das wäre Fachmännisch hergestellt.
