How to build a mansard roof with your own hands?

If you build a house yourself, then do everything in your mind and in stages. The construction of the attic floor is not an easy task, but it is much easier to master it than building a full-fledged one. Especially a lot of questions and difficulties arise when working with a roof . Let us learn the lesson on our own how to build an attic structure, where all parts of the roof of the house were made by the non-professional.

How to build a roof mansard type with their own hands?

Before starting work, we will purchase the necessary materials. From the consumables we will need:

• beam 100x200 for the construction of beams;
• a beam 150х150 for construction of walls of an internal partition;
• boards 50x150 for the frame.

And now we will start our work on our own: we will briefly consider how to build a worthy mansard structure out of all this material and get a reliable roof, but made by the hands of an amateur.

1. Initially, the length of the beam under the beam is 6 m, it is not enough for the entire length of the wall. In our case, these beams are lagged up and fixed with each other by self-tapping screws.
2. The photo shows how we connected the beams of the attic roof of the house with our hands, so that we could build the floors - we literally increased our own length.
3. And here is actually a partition for dividing the entire attic space into two rooms.
4. As for the technology itself, it's easy to build a mansard-type structure, and it's feasible in-house, but you'll have to work by hand, since we'll do everything right on the roof. First, we directly collect the frame of this kind. Next, install the first and last on the butt end of the house. As a temporary fastening it is acceptable to use boards.
5. When this part is installed, you can attach a second one.
6. After you manage to build a roof truss system, we immediately begin finishing, and we start working with the crate on our own, putting the vapor barrier on our hands. All structural details are usually fixed with metal corners and plates. Board of wood only temporary fixation.
7. That's the whole instruction. If the essence of the building becomes clear to you, then the difficulty will be only in the properly verified details of the rafters.
