The Roof Team

STEP 1
The first part of the roof construction consisted of the half trusses
being lifted onto the walls and placing them into sets of two to cover the entire house
Heading 3
STEP 2
Once the half trusses have been lifted onto the walls they
are placed into sets of two so that each pair could be joined to form a single truss and place at a distance of 760 mm
STEP 3
The trusses are kept apart at a distance of 760 mm with
the use of 38 x 50 battens
STEP 4
After the trusses had been placed at an equidistance of 760 mm, the roof is covered with a waterproof membrane to prevent leaks, after which the 38 x 50 battens are added to the top of the trusses at a distance of 350 mm apart.
STEP 5
The interlocking cement tiles are placed onto the 38 x 50 battens and are attached to the battens with 60 mm galvanized roof screws.
