I am building a huge Garden Room Workshop and this time i will be showing you how i build the roof for my timber frame structure. I will show you how to make a flat roof right up to the point of EDPM rubber roof preparation.
In this mini series i will be showing you the whole process of workshop or garden room building. We will cover the whole process from start to finish so that by the end, you will have inspiration and guides to build one of these yourself!

Built a garage almost exactly the same way about 5 years ago and it was absolutely rock solid. dramas that I came across was the flat roof, They love to leak and the concrete base, ordered ready mix and was too wet when poured and dried dusty. I would definitely go with an angled roof if I done it again and maybe sit the frame on a couple of courses of brick as the bottom of timber cladding goes manky quickly.

Why not align your roof joists with your 400 centre studs? Do you think just using screws to hold the joists will be sufficient. Would it have been worth using upside down joist hangers to secure the roof to the main building?

@TheDIYGuy1 3 ай бұрын

If you align with the wall uprights you would have to spike the joist down which takes longer. In a previous build I have done this method worked perfectly and the building stands as good as it did when I built it three years ago so I’m satisfied the method used is strong enough.

The only issue I find with "flat" roofs is you sometimes end up with more water escaping down the sides and not down the slope of the roof but in the UK we don't have much choice due to the height restriction (2.5m).

Sharp OSB corners do indeed puncture EPDM rubber roofs if you let them flap around. I laid it on top of my roof without tacking it down (which you did). Sanding the corners also a very nice touch to further reduce chances of a 😢😢😢 moment.

Belts and braces ? Should have glued the OSB to the ceiling joists to, noggins should be in middle up to 3.6mtrs anything over should be in thirds but nice job it’s just a shed 👍

Never glued the osb to the roof joists. Can’t see the benefit of that one when it’s got nails throughout but thanks for sharing your methods all the same 👍
