Using 2x4s 48 o.c. is not done as they are not considered structurally appropriate. Setting wood in concrete is also questionable, Simpson or other supplier for HDs are used in this application. They will rot rather quickly in seasonal weather. Additionally, a sealing tape is always used around all window openings to seal flashing to the substrate. I know I sound rather critical but I think the point I am making is this: ask people who have done it correctly for advice so your efforts will last a long time or read the code book.

Wood either treated or not below grade isn't a good idea. The shingles are to tight on the skylight to allow water to flow out and if the shingle won't reach the end of the roof. You're supposed to cut a tab off of the next to last shingle so you end up with a tab and a half instead of a little piece. Not to mention that she just went over the bare spot with the upper shingle. lol The only thing that might save the roof is the pitch, if the rafters don't rot.....

I always appreciate when people do their own projects. You learn little if you don't try. I also know that this is à old post so my comment is more for people who happen across this video than the OP. With all that said, there are so many things wrong with the construction of this A-frame that could have been avoided with an hour or two of research online. A-frames, although not the most practical structure, can be virtually bullet proof of built right. It is effectively the vaulted portion of a roof with far fewer issues than in typical construction. No walls to bow out, flattening the peak and wreaking havoc to the roofing material. No ice damming in cold climates and now water/iron/acid staining down walls. A few recommendations: 1. Use standard beam and joist support structure or, with slightly larger lumber, a simple framed floor. Joists spaced 16" on centres with plywood or OSB is very robust and if properly braced will have very little bounce and will simplify insulating. 2. The roof should sit on the floor, not on separate concrete bases. The concrete would have been better used under the floor frame. This would leave no gaps around the base. All lumber should be positioned so that the smaller dimension is against the roof sheathing. The A-frames are often placed 2' on centres, depending on expected wind and snow loads. This results in an exceptionally strong structure. 3. Tyvek is best used on walls. There are purpose made membranes for roofs like tar paper that may be better. If you want to use Tyvek, install it horizontally like roofing membrane, with proper overlap. 4. All rows of shingles must go to the edge of the roof with a slight overhang otherwise wind can easily push water up between layers of shingles. If there is a sliver of a tab at the end, determine if the center of the roof should have a tab, or a gap. Always position two rows at the beginning to make sure everything lines up, then remove the top layer and nail the first row. Chalk lines help to keep everything straight. 5. Consider safety before using homemade harnesses and wearing flats instead of wearing boots or at least full shoes. Good luck on your future projects.

Hi, so we totally winged it! We didn't look at any plans just went with what was in Bryan's head. We wanted the footprint to be 16ft square so once you can work your footprint size then you can just work out the roof pitch by using a right angle triangle calculator on google. We made the mistake of putting the wood into the ground, If we did it again we would build it the same way we did the A-frame log store build so the roof is supported by the floor rather than the ground. (We made a video on this and I think we talk more about the angles there) Do you have a limit on how high you can build? Thanks, Vicki

I see very helpful! Good to know, I will attach them to the deck then and use something to measure the angle, or else I guess I could just use one piece of wood as a template and then who cares about the actual angle. I guess you are using ‘katepal’ shingles, too bad they aren’t sold on amazon USA, I hope I can find something like that somewhere for the USA. And you didn’t use any other insulation other than the tvek and the bubble wrap in the floor? (I wonder if that does anything).
@TractorsandCream

@@100toeface you need to know the angle so you can set the mitre saw and cut the wood so it joins perfectly at the top. If you plug in the height and the distance from the middle of the floor to the edge of the floor into the right angle calculator it will work out the angle for you. We have since put insulation in the walls but just the same bubble wrap insulation as we don't get very harsh winters here. But you could use celatex which would give you better insulation. If you want to send me a private message on instagram or Facebook I can send you some photos of what I mean about the angles if that helps? Vicki

You put the shingles on backwards and wrong. But it looks nice. The rocks go on outside and you line. Sticky melts in heat and keep stuck. You stagger shingles.

Love it. Just wondering about the pine rafters into the concrete, was that treated pine? If not, the wood will rot in time. I think it would be wise to use concreted stirrups and bolt the wood onto them to keep the wood off the ground. Nice job though, thanks.

@@TractorsandCream I've learned a ton and we haven't even started building yet! In my opinion, you're going about it the right way though, find something you like doing and then you don't really have to retire. F.I. is the key, not so much the R.E. part. Finding a job you love (or making your own) is way better than spending a decade or more in a job you hate and sometimes people just need to take a step back!

@TractorsandCream
3 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for your kind words! So we build the base the same size as 8 sheets of ply so 4.8metres square. Then we couldn't go any higher than 3metres due to local planning laws which is what gave us the angle of the roof. If we could've gone higher then it would've given a better pitch. If we did it again we wouldn't have had the main beams going into the ground, we would've sat them on the base which would also have given a steeper angle and would look better (same as we did on our A-frame log store build video) We've learnt so much from posting this video and the comments everyone has put! Hope that helps, good luck with your build and let me know if you have any other questions. 😊 Vicki

With shingles its the tar paper that makes it water tight. Tyvec is for walls even if its placed in watershed fashion from bottom up the same as shingles, it is not rated as a roofing material. I would guess a couple years before the leaks start. Good day.
