DIY ROOF: FINALLY WATERTIGHT

[@dolphinliam888]

I love this project. I'm an old farm boy now. We had to build and repair all our buildings. We built one barn entirely from modifying used scaffold boards. All the same principles past down from generations. Lovely buildings, nice to see them saved. Well done!

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.

[@peterbrosius8438]

the only good way to do it

[@MrBeautrix]

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.

i had a beer for you Carl, looked like thirsty work up on that roof, im not a builder or roofer im a window cleaner but having found you videos i cant stop watching them, your brilliant mate.

[@peterbalac1915]

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.

Nice work. Please continue sharing this project with us.

[@wayneosullivan1549]

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 🤔

[@matholt1]

Good lad! Nice and heavy eaves lining.Looked a bit green so probably some shrinkage but that will add to the character of the building. Your one of the lucky ones, a natural born Chippie!!

You do great work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I think you are the only channel with zero dislikes ( knock on wood)

[@Badmeaningoodz]

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]

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.

What is that short and thick piece of wood called, which he attached to the end of the rafter?

[@nleefry]

The inside of a the kitchen please howisit going?

[@HugoRosales]

Incredible as it seems, I used to live in a tiled roof house with no boards and no membrane, only the rafters and the battens! If a tile breaks you can replace it from inside the roof!

[@carlroge]

Nice! Old school cool

[@guiomarpedruco5608]

Why this roof is made differently?

[@Helloverlord]

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]

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]

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]

@@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]

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

[@chrishaug]

@@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

[@michaelplays2449]

[@Songs-vy7qu]

Counter battens are all the rage these days !

[@Thomas-jt2un]

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.

[@johnnythomas8036]

i gauge my roof out after i’ve put first batten on. my tape tells me how many courses of tiles and at what gauge. is it just me or does this seem ludacris.?

[@MrLukedanger]

Sometimes no matter what you do the roof is so far out you never get to loose the difference

[@MrJohnandMargie]

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.

[@osvaldocristo]

Interesting... I see you gauge the space between the horizontal tile support by the internal distance. In my side of the world we use to gauge between the upper portion of consecutive support stretchers.

[@carlroge]

Interesting, where's your side of the world?

[@paulettejabbar5661]

Bravo madame

[@danburt8351]

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

[@mysoneffa2417]

My only resrrvation is its a mistake to oak boards together, on the eves, if the wood is cured, as they will expand when damp & buckle, but if wood is green it a best practice as wood will contract as it drys out.

Par ou commencer ? Premièrement tu aurais pu délarder ta sablière ça t'aurais éviter les pas sur les chevrons, que tu aurais pu faire d'un seul tenant ce qui aurait été structurellement plus adéquate. Ensuite les contrelattes sont nécessaires pour la ventilation et pour tu n'ai pas payée ton par pluie pour rien car l'eau dans ton montage ne peut s'evacuer. Pour enfoncer le clou (humour de charpentier) les contres fiches se lie au poinçon et non a l'entrait et cela pour que la triangulation se fasse de manière optimale
