Side walls are nearly done. Couple more noggins and sheathing to do but the main bits are done. I threw out the how to make sloped wall rule books and just drew it up in cad, cut all the studs to the lengths the computer said and threw it together and boom it fits. Everything nice and square and parallel.
Am thinking about the roof more now. Does anyone have an opinion on how much overhand I should have at the front? Building is 4m long. My roof joists are 4.8m. My original plan was to have approx 20cm at the rear and 60cm at the front, but am now wondering whether I should just have the full 80cm at the front and have the back close to flush? Reason being I'm not going to be hanging out at the back, there will be a gutter there, and I'll be cladding the rear in some cheap plastic cladding that won't rot so protecting from direct rain not so much a big deal?
I've attached mock ups of both options. Any wisdom appreciated.
Also, thanks for all the tips on the bamboo. I've had a closer look and I'm fairly sure its the clumping kind so I'll be putting off dealing with it until future date.
