Barn Roof Insulation
Friday, September 25th, 2009I didn’t have enough to finish the entire roof so I had to buy some French compressed polystyrene insulation which was pretty expensive stuff
Fixing the Roman Tiles on the gable end.
Monday, April 28th, 2008One of my french neighbors resorted to drilling a hole in each tile and screwing it to the roof, Richard managed to fasten all these one on with mortar.

OSB Roof Deck
Monday, November 5th, 200718mm 2440 x 1220 sheets of tongue and groove OSB3 are laid on the rafters. The OSB was bought from Point.P. in France, but it’s made by kronospan in Wrexham. Designed for use where a high performance board is required which provides dimensional stability combined with exceptional load bearing performance in humid conditions. The OSB 3 boards survived [...]
Fitting purlins and rafters to rear gable
Friday, September 21st, 2007The 10m space between the front and the rear gable walls meant that it was not possible to use a single piece of wood as a purlin. The original oak roof used 3 purlins on each side of the barn, joining on the A-frames. I used 2 purlins on 5.7 metre purlins on each side [...]

There are 2 a frames each spans nearly 8m, I added some additional wall plates made of 100mm x 100mm square timber. These new wall plates are bolted to the top of the original oak wall plates. [...]
Fixing the front gable
Thursday, May 24th, 2007The front of the barn roof collapsed in strong winds in autumn of 2005. I spent most of 2006 cleaning out the inside of the barn and trying to protect the exposed walls from the weather, with hindsight I should have just started to fit a replacement roof in 2006. The front gable leans out [...]
Roof Truss Template
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007Because the front gable wall had been damaged when the original roof collapsed it was difficult to work out the angle of the roof. The front right corner of the barn had been rebuilt once before and it appeared that the pitch of the roof was different on each side of the barn. I made [...]
