Stick Built Roof

Framers or roofer also have given me feedback about the strength of a trussed roof versus a stick framed roof.

Stick built roof.

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. Stick framing takes place on site while trusses come prefabricated and ready to. One of the most common is that with a site built roof it s easier to customize the roofline.

Stick framing is building the roof on the construction site one piece or board at a time. Builders sometimes also prefer this construction method when they want to provide a large attic space or high vaulted ceilings often called cathedral ceilings. The two basic types of roof construction stick framing and truss assembly both produce a structurally sound roof. Does your stick framed roof come with that.

All the trusses built by us come with an engineer seal that say they will handle the loads that are specified. Additional boards are placed horizontally on the frames to create a complete cover for the structure. Other roof shapes particularly those with dormers or on houses with cathedral ceilings attic rooms or attic storage areas are stick built. A collar beam adds strength to the triangle at the middle.

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