Stick Built Roof

One of the most common is that with a site built roof it s easier to customize the roofline.

Stick built roof.

Does your stick framed roof come with that. A collar beam adds strength to the triangle at the middle. All the trusses built by us come with an engineer seal that say they will handle the loads that are specified. Stick framing takes place on site while trusses come prefabricated and ready to.

The two basic types of roof construction stick framing and truss assembly both produce a structurally sound roof. Additional boards are placed horizontally on the frames to create a complete cover for the structure. Then dimensional lumber called rafters are cut to fit one piece at a time and shoved up to a framer on the roof that s balancing on scaffolding who installs the rafters. Other roof shapes particularly those with dormers or on houses with cathedral ceilings attic rooms or attic storage areas are stick built.

A stick framed roof is made up of individual rafters and that are connected to a top beam. It starts with setting ridge and valley beams above the house walls. Framers or roofer also have given me feedback about the strength of a trussed roof versus a stick framed roof. Stick framing is building the roof on the construction site one piece or board at a time.

Gable and hip roofs may be built primarily of trusses. However constructing a stick framed roof is not always easy.
