Roof For Log Store

I was inspired by this curved roof log store.

Roof for log store.

Not a big job because it s only 6 x2. I want it to be built with as many natural materials as possible. I love the shape of the roof but it s the sedum plants on top of it that caught my eye. First we decided on the footprint of the log store.

I built a light frame. Timber would be good. The roof was the one bit where i didn t have reclaimed materials to hand so a trip to wickes later my pocket was lighter but i had enough wood and felt for a water tight shed roof. Here is how we did it.

Screwed down each board onto front back rails and treat with any old spirit based wood preservative once or twice a year. There are many material options available for the roof of your log store. Drill two holes through the top and bottom of each main post. It was more fun than assembling a flat pack and gave us a greater sense of achievement.

For easy access a log store with an open front is preferable so you ll be wanting to build a three sided structure with a base and roof. It s crucial that air is allowed circulate through the wood so leave gaps between the slatted sides and back of your store. Start with the front frame of the log store and lay out the two side posts one of the floor structure pieces and one of the long roof structure pieces. Log stores are simple structures that can easily be built yourself especially if you have an old wooden pallet available.

Benefits of green roofs. Fit the roof panel you can make the roof panel of the log store out of 18 mm waterproof multiplex. I definitely don t want my new bin store to be like that. Make sure before you start that the proposed log store will take a full load of logs e g.

Mansard roofs can include window dormers and often do since the space is usable and therefore the dormers provide natural light. The pyramid version of the mansard roof includes a pyramid design on top of the steep sides instead of a flat top. Build the front and back frames of the log store. Remember that the roof has to overlap the two sides and the front by about 30 cm.

It can be made of pallets by covering the slats with slats cannibalised from another pallets or the slats can be removed from other pallets and then screwed or nailed to a the pallet walls. As we wanted a large log shelter which would last we decided to build our own. I custom made the roof of of my log store out of pressure treated feather edge timber. Ideas please for waterproofing my log store roof legacylad.

Place the roof panel on the frame align the back edge with the back of the frame and adjust the position of the roof so that it overlaps each side by the same amount.
