32. Roof Construction (Part 4)


Roof Tiles Assembly

Once the frame and the trusses has been assembled then we had to follow up with the assemblage of the individual plastic tiles. At first i thought that it would be a piece of cake but it turned out to be one though cookie. The problem occurred due to the fact that most students did not follow the guidelines provided, and they manufactured it based on their own understanding. It caused many problems during the placement of tiles but by intervention of some reliable students (TQ Riley and Friends) they managed to hotchpotch it together.

Under the Ridge Downtown...
The Ridge cover was then made by a couple of students that decided to go with a PVC pipe. They cut the pipe by its diameter to produce 2 semi circles and then joint them together to produce a longer ridge. To prevent the ridge from being blown away, some holes were drilled allowing wires to run through them to be tied to the timber ridge underneath.
