After Part 1, here are the next steps to roofing installation<\/p>\n

Pt 2 Outdoor Gazebo Asphalt Shingle System Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now we are ready to put the plywood in place. Using standard framing nails (50mm long shank), nail the plywood at 150mm apart at the edges and 300mm in the centre.<\/p>\n

TIP \u201cIf you reside in high wind areas or over 8 metres from the ground, nail the entire sheet every 150mm. This is a technique known as storm nailing and is stated in most plywood manufacturers’ guidelines\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Installing
Plywood Placement at 2-3mm space on short end<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fix the plywood in staggered fashion for extra structural strength.<\/p>\n

TIP \u201cTaking into consideration of the moisture in the environment, place a 2-3mm gap on the short length of the plywood to give room for the plywood to expand, but the tongue and groove ends together without a gap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working over 2 metres high is already considered “Working at heights” and as per Work Safe Guidelines, certain safety measures need to be taken. For this it is recommended to use a scaffolding.<\/p>\n

\"Scaffold<\/p>\n

The pic above is a 3.5 metre fall from the fascia, hence the use of a scaffold.<\/p>\n

TIP “A 600mm wide aluminum scaffold that is very lightweight and portable, easy to assemble, and cheap to rent.”<\/p>\n

\"Small

The photo above may seem a bit sloppy on the upper ends of the plywood, not to worry as this can easily be solved as to be shown later on.<\/p>\n

\"Cutting

In this particular project, the drip edge is 125mm with a 90\u00b0 bend then 25mm with a 10mm upturn. The colour is on the outside, generally Monument to match the dual black shingles. This material serves to protect the bottom edge of the plywood which can decay after several years.<\/p>\n

\"Nailing
Nailing the drip edge onto the lower edge of the ply<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To secure the plywood in place, hammer a nail halfway in on both ends of the face of roof 100mm up from the bottom edge of the plywood and snap a chalk line. This is to position the drip edge 25mm below the bottom edge of the plywood. Then overlap the drip edge material about 100mm at the joint.<\/p>\n

TIP \u201cOne should never nail through two layers of metal drip edge; this will expand in the heat and buckle and warp.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Asphalt
Cover the entire\u00a0outdoor patio\u00a0area with asphalt saturated felt material<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The material above is a full roll of asphalt saturated felt sheet. This serves to provide coverage on the entire outdoor patio area. Each roll covers 40 square meters – although you will lose some area in the overlap.<\/p>\n

Applying this felt sheet has several uses:<\/p>\n
