The easiest and most economical type of roof for a garage is a shed. For its production does not require too much building materials. Moreover, it can be built on its own, because its construction does not require the use of complex technologies. In this article, you will learn the subtleties of how to make a shed roof of a garage.

The merits of one stingray

You can list a number of positive aspects of such a structure, here are some of them:

Unlike a gable roof, much less construction material is required.
No need to create a complex project.
The rafter system is constructed quite simply.
Low cost.
The speed of construction.

Slope calculation

When designing a garage on the plan, it is important to indicate the required slope of the cover. It mostly depends on the material with which the roof will overlap, for example, it can be ondulin, roofing felt, slate, metal profile, tile.

For example, if roofing material is selected, then the minimum slope of the roof is 5 degrees, for shingles up to 22, and for high-profile tiles the angle of the slope can reach up to 30 degrees.

Among other things, it is worth considering the location of the building on the site. Analyze in which direction the wind is blowing, how much precipitation falls in your area. To make accurate calculations, you can use the online calculator.

We suggest you consider the option of making a single-pitch roof on a slate garage.

Slate roofing

First of all, it is necessary to make a calculation of the building material, to assemble the necessary tool and after that to start work.

Tools

For the construction of the roof will require a set of tools and materials:

slate;
slate nails;
unedged board;
wooden bars:
гидропорозоляция;
hacksaw for wood;
ax;
hammer;
staples and stapler;
sharp knife.

For a shed roof, a truss system is constructed. 12 cm bars can be used as beams. A 10 × 20 cm beam can be used as a rafter foot, and 0.5 × 0.5 cm for a batten.

We start to build

So, a roof slope of 20 ° is made for slate. Partial slope of the roof can be formed by laying walls. One wall will be lower, and it is better that it is located on the side of strong winds. Next on the wall mounted mauerlat. Be sure to perform waterproofing before laying timber mowerlat. As a waterproofing can put ruberoid. Later, the truss system will be attached to the mauerlat. The very same timber is fixed to the wall with an anchor.

Rafters are stacked in increments of 70–80 cm. They must be fixed to the mauerlat with nails.

For safe movement, lay the boards on the rafters. This will also allow for much faster work.

Next, the crate is made of bars 50 × 50 mm. The crate is nailed across the slate laying.

The next step is waterproofing. To do this, crawl along the plastic film. Be sure to stack the film overlap up to 20 cm. In this case, the overlap should be in the direction of the slope. Otherwise, dripping water or condensate may leak into the garage. The film is attached to the rails with a stapler.

In conclusion, it remains to cover the roof with slate. Begin laying the bottom-up with special nails. Be sure to secure the wind boards, which will prevent the breakdown of the roof.

Following this simple technology, you can build a roof in a cooperative garage. Moreover, all the work is quite possible to produce on their own. You can learn how to do all the work correctly from the provided video.
