Gable roof addition construction.
Now once again there are several ways to add on.
Rather than a single slope a gable roof consists of two slopes that meet at a peak running down the middle of the roof.
Gable end addition here we will focus on adding length to the end of a house roof.
The addition can be wider than the existing house narrower or the exact same width.
Put roof sheathing on top of your roof.
When matched to the angle and proportions of other rooflines on the house your gable roof will add visual interest and character to the home making the addition look like an asset that belongs with the house.
Use construction nails 6 in 15 cm apart to secure the plywood around the outer perimeter and along each support.
This first installment of a two part series focuses on eaves that do not return onto the gable.
Place a piece of the plywood on the bottom corner of your roof making sure the edges are on a rafter beam.
