Redoing Roof Pitch

I m halfway though sheeting the roof of my shipping container shop and already need to redo some of it.

Redoing roof pitch.

Watch this now to learn how to avoid this same pr. Raise the roof to create more cubic feet of space beneath it raise the pitch of a roof from flat or low slope to something steeper for aesthetic and practical reasons add a second floor new top story covering part or all the home add a dormer to an existing top floor to change the look of your home add light and gain headroom inside the dormer. Depending on the pitch additional equipment may also be necessary. Alter the pitch on a flat or low slope roof with some type of rigid foam insulation.

Expect to spend 1 500 to 3 000 to remove your current roof before installing a replacement. Osb is alphabet soup for oriented strand board an engineered lumber product that is widely available at home centers or lumber yards. New roof sheeting should be 1 2 inch plywood or 7 16 inch osb. At least two different types are made in sloped panels.

Most manufacturers specify at least a 4 12 roof pitch for installing them meaning for every foot the rafters extend out from the ridge beam they drop down 4 inches. If i m using asphalt shingles i always protect the sheathing with ice and water shield first pulling it onto the fascia and rake boards and cover it with trim.
