The plank roof is laid perpendicular to the ridge of the roof from boards running in two rows. Pine boards with a thickness of 25-30 mm are usually used.
bottom row pitched roof must be laid in such a way that the bulge formed from the annual rings is directed upwards, while the bottom row must be laid in reverse, with the bulge down.
To your attention! Such a roof is made of tess, having a width of 160-200 mm and a thickness of 19-25 mm. On the main buildings, they fit into two continuous layers, and on the secondary ones - in a run.
Boards intended for the bottom layer must be planed along both edges and from the top side. In this case, the lower boards are laid with the core down, and the upper ones, respectively, up.
If a continuous coating is made, then the seams that are the boards of the lower layer must be covered with the boards of the upper layer.
Tip! As noted earlier, for such a roof, 20-25 mm boards are used, which are stacked at a distance of 60 cm from each other. Boards should be laid side by side with overlapping seams, or completely. On top of the board, you need to plan and select grooves in them that will serve to drain water.
The boards are attached to a crate made of bars 50 by 50 or 60 by 60 mm, hewn poles 60-70 mm or plates are also used under it. Boards are nailed to the rafters at a distance of 50-60 cm.
Laying boards
A tessel roof can be laid transversely and longitudinally. The most commonly used longitudinal masonry, which is more practical. The boards are laid across the slope as follows:
- Back to back in two layers. With this laying, the joint formed between the boards in the upper layer is formed in the middle of the board located in the lower layer.
- One layer. In this case, flashings are formed. With this laying, the bottom continuous layer is made, and the boards laid on top overlap the bottom layer by 4-5 cm.
- With gaps, and overlap the top by 5 cm or more.
- The top boards must be secured to the battens with two nails at each intersection.
When using a transverse layer of laying, it should be remembered that it is used for temporary buildings, and at the same time it is not necessary to arrange a crate.
With this laying, the upper boards overlap the lower ones by 4-5 cm. Here you need to fix each intersection with one nail.
Most often, such a roof is used in a forest area and is distinguished by its decorative effect and strongly pronounced color, it is easily and simply manufactured.
The angle of inclination of such a roof is 28-45 degrees.
A roof made of shreds happens:
- double layer;
- Three-layer;
- Four-layer.
With a horizontal arrangement, each board overlaps the previous one by 2.5-3 cm.
- Along the slope, the upper boards should overlap the lower ones by half, if the coating is two-layer;
- With a three-layer overlap - two-thirds of the length;
- by three thirds with a four-layer coating.
How correctly the rows are laid can be checked with the help of a rail against which the boards abut. The ridge is made of two boards, which are nailed on top of the shingle cover.
Such a wooden roof is used for houses belonging to the settlement type or for temporary storage and residential premises.
In order to prevent cracking, the lower boards must be nailed with one nail in the middle, and the upper ones along the edges with two nails.
It is best to use galvanized nails. The yew roof is fragile, because due to the change in weather, the boards swell, shrink and warp.
Repair of such a roof is very easy, as you just need to replace one or more boards. If narrow gaps have formed, then they are closed with wooden slats.
It is necessary to arrange such a roof from smooth boards that do not have branches and sapwood, the length of which should be the same as that of a slope.
