30. Roof Construction (Part 2)



The Ridge
Previously the “A” frames was already prepared in advance so to complete the process we used a ridge timber to align all the trusses together. The ridge was screwed on to the A frames and tightened with wires to give extra hold to the overall structure. The 2 corners of the A frame was also reinforced with timber planks to make it more rigid.

The students then placed the fame on the beams temporarily to get the correct placement and markings to ease the process of drilling and anchoring.
