How To Panel Exterior Odd Angled Roof

Lay a sheet of ply over the rafters mark from inside and add half the thickness of the rafter to either side of your markings.

How to panel exterior odd angled roof. To scribe the angle we placed a length of stock on top of the rafter peaks and leveled it across using a scrap block to trace the angle. Place a straight edge next to your pencil marks. Use your pencil to trace a line up against your straight edge. This first video shows how the finished roof planes in off angle roof construction will look when completed.

The wood wall will be the focal point of the entire room. To give the platform traction on the steep roof we attached two strips of self adhesive weatherstrip to the underside. Transfer these measurements to the drywall. We made ours of half inch plywood with a lip around the top.

A couple of weeks ago we published a two part series showing how a local roofing contractor shingled a roof with architectural shingles. To maintain a consistant ridge height in these situations the roof pitch must be adjusted. I ll make sure to use tape seal in between the flashing and the top of.
