Brangsgore New Forest - Roof

We have moved on from fitting the floor at Brangsgore. We have completed one of the 2 methods of pitch roof construction. The 'cut roof' is a traditional method of cuting the timber on site and forming the roof using rafters, jack rafters, ridge boards and purlins.

 

Main roof is a gable with 2x steels acting as purlins as shown in the picture.

On this main roof we have formed 4 Dormers as seen below.

Off the back of the main roof there are a further 2 gables. Valleys formed to connect the junction at 45 degrees.

Scaffolding down roof works all complete.
