Roof construction
Jul 22nd, 2004, 8:51pm
 
Anyone know where i can find general information about the construction of a timber framed roof.

Things like dimensions of wood, angles, weight spec, terms for the various pieces of wood.

Any advice?

I assume you mean a cut roof as opposed to post and beam type timber frame, if so there are a couple here though I haven't seen them.

Also bear in mind that a lot of these books come from america so names, methods etc may be different as well as sizes will be imperial and there may be items that don't comply with our Reg's.
