Who would like on-street parking near your home when you are able safely park your car is likely to garage? How do you construct your own garage roof, and what materials will you need? This article will endeavour to answer these two questions and more -- read on!
Now let us suppose you have already cleared or removed the area to be able to start building your new garage roof. Bitumen sheets are a great material for a roof (or reroof) as they are simple to manage, cheap, and durable. Nonetheless they do need re - supporting at regular intervals, so make sure you follow the manufacturing company instructions exactly.
Timber should be then bolted in between the trusses to make extra support for the sheets, and then attach the sheets to the timber - if you can track some angle iron of similar size (which can be sourced rather cheaply and easily from a local steel provider) then this would be an even better result as it would produce a much more sturdier roof if done right.
The sheets will then need to be drilled and bolted into place, and you will especially need some HSS drill bits to drill through the steel. The bitumen sheets may be screwed down, in the event that you pre-drill them and use roof sheet screws with the plastic caps.
Waterproofing is the alternative - So what material will you need to make fully sure your completely new (or revitalized) garage roof will not let in torrents of water during a rainstorm? The answer is EPDM - - which is an acronym that stands for propylene, ethylene and diene. The M in its name comes from its American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) classification, which indicates that it comes with a saturated chain of the propylene kind. EPDM is a rubber like material that is used by installing large sheets in your rooftop that cover the underside of your roof. If installed correctly this rubber layer will successfully waterproof any garage. The advantages of making use of EPDM is that it has an excellent resistance to weather - - both hold and cold conditions - - and it has excellent electrical properties too. Once all that is done you are now ready to shingle the roof. Starting in the bottom corner of the roof, and work the right path over the entire roofing area ensuring you overlap any dips or peaks. Be sure to use single shingle tabs, overlapping them along the complete amount of the crest. When the shingles are completed, then you have finally completed your new roof.
