all help appreciated again.....
i'm putting up the roof trusses on the new garage next weekend and want to batter on to ensure a felted roof (ready for slates) before xmas.
my current question is whether to use plywood or "sarking"?
i understand that plywood is quick and economical - sarking is perhaps a bit more labour intensive - planks instead of sheets??
however, is there any advantages to using sarking - my labour's cheap ;^)
that said; what's the recommended thickness of sarking?
if plywood's the recommendation, what would be the best thickness.
the roof's got a 36 degree pitch and covers a span of 7m. the garage is 10m wide.
also, what's the recommended roofing felt which will hold out for a few months until i get the slates sorted out? do i need battons or should the slates be nailed straight onto the sarking/ply?
thanks paul
