I install the rest of the log cabin rafters.

Then I began sheathing the roof with barn boards, on a slope that is steeper than 45 degrees.

Why is it important to hire an experienced contractor for the installation of barn board sheathing on a steep pitch?

Roofing a Steep 45° Pitch! Barn Board Sheathing

Roofing a steep pitch is a challenging task, and barn board sheathing is a popular option for this type of roofing. The steep pitch adds an extra level of difficulty to the installation process, but the barn board sheathing technique provides the necessary stability and strength. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of barn board sheathing for steep roofs and the installation process.

Barn board sheathing is a traditional technique that has been used for centuries. The boards are placed vertically across the rafters, providing support and stability for the roofing materials. The barn board sheathing method is perfect for steep roofs because it creates a solid base for the shingles or other materials that will be placed on top.

One of the great advantages of using barn board sheathing is that it provides a breathable layer between the roofing materials and the rafters. This prevents moisture buildup and ensures that the roof stays dry even in wet conditions. The boards are spaced slightly apart to allow for ventilation, which is essential for the longevity of the roof.

The installation process for barn board sheathing is straightforward but requires expertise and knowledge. Before starting the installation, the roof must be properly prepared, and any damaged or rotten boards should be removed. The boards used for sheathing should be of high quality and free of knots or decay.

The boards are then nailed in place, leaving a 1/8-inch gap between each board to allow for expansion and contraction during temperature changes. The spacing also ensures proper ventilation. The boards must be level and straight to avoid any bumps or warping.

Once the sheathing is complete, the roofing material can be installed. The barn board sheathing provides a steady and sturdy surface for the roofing materials, ensuring a long-lasting and durable roof. The steep pitch adds an extra layer of protection against the elements.

In conclusion, roofing a steep 45° pitch can be challenging, but using barn board sheathing provides a solid foundation for the roofing materials. The sheathing method has been used for centuries and is still widely used today due to its durability and longevity. If you are considering roofing a steep pitch, barn board sheathing is surely one of your best options. It is important to hire an experienced contractor who knows how to properly install barn board sheathing to ensure a high-quality job.
