After pouring the foundation and building walls, proceed directly to making the roof of the garage with your own hands. This is a responsible process, and you need to pay appropriate attention to it.

The first step is to plan the course of action. As a rule, for the standard and simplest roof covering choose the option with a lean-to roof. If you want to get more and attic, then you have to consider one of the more complex types of roof - gable broken roof.

A roof construction project for a garage usually consists of several important points:

• Roof construction - ordinary or mansard
• Roof ceilings - wooden or reinforced concrete
• Roofing materials - asbestos-cement slate or euro slate (ondulin), decking, roofing material (soft roofing), metal tile, waterproofing materials, insulation
• Estimates for construction costs

First of all, you need to make the ceiling of the garage with wooden beams (section of timber 15 * 10 or 10 * 10 cm), which are fixed in the external walls. After that, under the slope of 20-30 degrees rafters are installed and fixed them on the walls.

To achieve the necessary slope, one wall is raised relative to the opposite. To raise the wall using two basic ways - laying an additional row of bricks, or the construction of wood is built up timber to the required height.

It is desirable that the distance between the supports of the rafters does not exceed 4.5 m, otherwise installation of extra struts will be required. The rafters are covered with a sheathing of boards more than 4 cm wide. First, you should cover the sheathing with insulating materials. You can use bitumen based waterproofing mastics or rolled materials made from polymers.

What is the roof of the garage?

As mentioned above, there are many roofing materials: slate, roofing felt, decking. How to choose, you decide, it all depends on the budget and goals.

The budget option is roofing felt or roofing felt. Modern alternative - soft shingles. The quality of the roof is more dependent on installation. Even expensive material can be spoiled. Watch for overlapping, which should be at least 10 cm (along the entire length). All work is desirable to carry out in warm weather (without rain and with the sun).

How to lay roofing material on the roof

If roofing material is selected as the roofing material, the calculation is carried out taking into account the three-layer coating.

The first layer is glued to bitumen mastic. Each roll needs to be well smoothed to get rid of bubbles and wrinkling material. Particular attention should be paid to the edges, because they are often unstuck and can cause roof leaks. It is possible to fix nails for reliability.

The second layer is laid perpendicular to the first, the surface is pre-treated with hot mastic. The third layer is glued in the same way as the second.

In addition to rolled bitumen materials, the use of ordinary slate or ondulin and galvanized corrugated flooring are widely practiced. If the garage is adjacent to the house, then it is logical to use the same material as for the roof of the house.
