Sarking
As soon as the
frames are fixed the next step is to place the sarking on the sloped surface of
the trusses. We decided that by using some damp proof course (blue plastic)
this item could replicate the functionality of a real sarking which is to
prevent rain from penetrating through.
The plastic was
stretched tightly and then stapled from the underside to the existing battens. This
is done to prevent sagging of the plastic.

Battens
The battens were
placed on top of the plastic to act as a receiving surface for the tiles. (Please
take note that the tiles were previously placed on thin plywood). Each batten
was spaced approximately to the size of the prepared roof tile.
