Roof
Before installing the roof boards, make sure that the house is completely level. Use the water-level to
check all walls.
ATTENTION: When placing the roof, use a stable ladder. Do not step on the roof as the structure is
suitable to sustain only an even load (snow, wind, etc.), and not a point load!
Begin the installation of the roof boards from the front edge of the roof. Tap the boards lightly and
attach them from above and below with nails to the rafters and upper wall log.
ATTENTION: Do not press the roof boards together too densely and you will avoid moisture-causing
bulging! Leave an interval of about 1 mm between the boards to allow for swelling.
•
During the whole process of installing the roof boards, make sure that their crest rafters coincide
and the eave sides of the boards extend at a uniform distance. Verify this with a rope or the lateral
eave lath that you may install for verification purposes.
•
The roof boards must be even with the rafter ends in front and behind. If necessary, saw both last
roof boards so narrow that they are even with the rafter ends.
