Oak Frame Gazebo: Final Episode Cedar Roof finished, JOB DONE!

We're Finished! We take a look at the how we install the rafter sprockets detail, Oak fascia boards, eaves support tray, breathable roofing membrane, laths and finally, the Western Red Cedar shingles, which are hands down my favourite material to finish a roof. It's a real privilege to be invited to build structures like this, very humbling. Thanks for watching, see you on the next one!

Just watched all 3 episodes as it's lashing out today. So coffee ☕and a Bowler project is the order of the day. Have to say guys, the clarity of the methods and the video production quality are superb, keep it up 👏

[@simonbowler1]

Kind words sir, thanks for watching 😁👍🏻

[@AshleyWragg]

The knowledge and technique that you've imparted in these few episodes is so very much appreciated! Love your no-math methods. I'm a mathematician myself, but not a woodworker or builder, and therefore I actually much more appreciate your method. Thank you for these very educational yet still very much more entertaining videos. Love your content.

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@allthekit...]

That looks fantastic, really sharp. Is it a normal detail for the end grain of the rafters to be visible below the fascia? I can't decide if I like seeing them or not. 👍

[@simonbowler1]

Yes, very normal for us 👍🏻

Thanks for watching, yes more videos coming soon…. Stay tuned 👍🏻

[@simontibbitts458]

Thanks Simon for these 3 videos. I am a new subscriber because of them. This looks SO good. A few questions if you have time. 1) Were the oak timbers 200x200? 2) Did you do any treatment on them afterwards like osmo? 3) I know a building like this doesn’t need building regs. But what about structural calcs? How do you know the timbers of this size can handle all wind and snow loading?

[@simonbowler1]

great questions! Yes the posts and beams were 200mm x 200mm, no we don't treat them with anything, we leave that to our clients, most choose to let them age naturally. I've had calcs done historically which I refer to, or there are span tables available online. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

[@freeridefox420]

super craftmanship. love the woodorking with the joinery! what would be the prize of something like this +- ? and timewise how long u worked on this one in otal project ?

[@mattleigh4727]

Always look forward to your videos. Personally for me I’m not keen on the plastic guttering

[@simonbowler1]

Each to their own, it matches the main house in this instance. We have used zinc on occasion 👍🏻

[@skullmunky4923]

Fantastic as always. Without being uncouth. What would something like this cost to supply and fit 5m x 3m?

[@SwolShark]

Your such a craftsman, beautiful work! Hey how do you find out how long you can span the large large oak joists without a support? for example if you have 2-20 cm x 20 cm supports and a 20 cm x 20 cm joist how do you find out where the supports need to go so the joist doesn’t sag? Thank you for any help!

[@simonbowler1]

An 8”x8” oak bean needs supporting about every 3m 👍🏻

[@SwolShark]

[@nw5835]

New to your channel, absolutely stunning work, anything with wood especially oak is a plus, my dad, although not a carpenter, had good wood working skills and have great memories of helping him in his workshop, by the way where do you source your jeans work wear from, they look handy with a zipped side pocket, do they have knee pad pockets, now to catch up on some of your other videos.

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks for watching, trousers are from snickers 👍🏻

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks, it came from Duffield Timber 👍🏻

[@Drongo_123]

Absolutely top job as usual, I have a question though, is there a particular reason the rafters aren’t completely covered by the fascia board, or is it decorative?

[@simonbowler1]

Decorative mainly 👍🏻

Nice detailed video. I'm planning on building a gazebo using Larch machine cut tiles all the same size 400mm x 200mm, approx 20mm thick one end, angling down to about 8mm. I wasnt planning on using an overlap like this, i was going to overlap by just 100mm using roof batons with 300mm spacing. Do you think i need to rethink how many tiles i need? I dont want them blowing off!

[@simonbowler1]

I’m not sure about the permitted exposure for the tiles you’re planning on using…. Definately worth looking into 👍🏻

[@fatboyhurst123]

@@simonbowler1 Thanks for the reply, it’s only a garden shelter. Now I’m worried about the times blowing off. Ordered 300 to cover 16 square M at £1 each (special price) Would you recommend using clout nails?

[@simonbowler1]

For cedar we use stainless steel ring shank nails

[@fatboyhurst123]

@@simonbowler1 Cheers, I’ll have a look. No recommendation for Galvanised?

[@fatboyhurst123]

@@simonbowler1Another question mate, what would you recommend for covering up/finishing off the gable ends? I’m using barge boards. Didn’t know whether to raise barge board above the level of the finished timber tiles but I guess then water can get down in between? I see on another video you’ve used verge ends, but that was using slate tiles.

[@XjoWoW]

what type of roofng membrane is that? Im in canada and nobody uses lats. but Ive got tongue and groove ceiling like yours. I want that product !

[@liamrobinson7766]

Nice work 👌 I have a question, building a bespoke pergola with a hipped roof - the customer would like 3x4m but only corner posts. Will 2x8 roof frame be adequate, if not - how can I make it strong enough to not warp/sag with only corner posts thanks

[@simonbowler1]

I would want something more substantial than that. If your are unsure, you should seek the advice of s structural engineer 👍🏻

[@alexbaker9142]

Super job - just one question. Do you leave the oak to age naturally without a finish?

[@simonbowler1]

Thanks, and yes we do 👍🏻

[@gordonstevenson8881]

Hey been a long time insta follower and loving the videos on here now! Where abouts do you get your oak from if you dont mind me asking?

[@simonbowler1]

It comes from Duffield Timber 👍🏻

[@ryanbradley9804]

Fantastic work do you mind me asking how do you fix the concrete plinths down? Or are they just sat on the slabs

[@simonbowler1]

They are granite, and they are bonded to the patio with resin or CT1 👍🏻

[@ryanbradley9804]

Thank you

[@BuildingservicesDublin]

what sort of money would this cost and start to finish how long does it take?

[@simonbowler1]

It took us about three weeks start to finish. If you send new an email through the website with your requirements I’ll be able to give you a cost indication 👍🏻

[@englishbob3603]

Lovely job 👍 is tile lat a northern term ? I've always known them as tile lath / roofing lath

[@simonbowler1]

Possibly, there’s often lots of different names for most things 👍🏻

[@jonathansowter831]

How do you work out the distances between the battens? Ie Is it always the same distance for every roof? Or does it change depending on the pitch / style of tile? If so how to work out the distance / spacing?

[@simonbowler1]

Depends on the pitch of the roof. These are set at 125mm exposure so so the battens are set at 125mm centres 👍🏻

who makes that rig you wearing please?
