Adding A Gable To An Existing Roof. Click on this link for helpful videos on home additions, roof framing and repairs. In the past I've built "ladders" out of the same size rafter material and lagged/screwed them into the gable rafter and then cut the sheathing back and re lay it.
A complex roof is a series of simple roof's. My roof, a straight gable, has triple asphalt shingles in places. The roof will be flat or a shed type of roof.
Structural design of new roof system will need to be able to accommodate weight of snow drifting against existing wall or sliding off from roof (depending upon whether reverse gable will be added to endwall or sidewall).
What's the best way to attach these two roofs?
My business partner and I recently added a large screened-in porch with a gable roof onto a client's home. The installation detail that we are looking at now is the exposed fastener gable trim. My roof, a straight gable, has triple asphalt shingles in places.
