Non Square garage roof?

You're a funny guy now please explain what tiles that dog at the corners mean?

I answered the problem.. An experienced roofer will know the term dogging (and not in the forest car parks)
FYI diminishing courses means reduceing the gauge as you go up the roof evenly not one end and not the other..

the gaps between the battens get smaller as you traverse up the roof and the courses diminish.

Maybe you should try reading with your eyes open?

I still dont know what dogging is.

Hello Again I now have the roof trusses on and they are the shape of the above drawing. The front square part of the roof has a 27.5 degree pitch and the rear part has a 15.5 degree pitch. Due to the pitch we have chose a Marley Malvern tile which can go down to 12 degrees if needed.

Now i am stuck Has anyone got an idea how to lay these tiles so the Building Inspector will be happy?

A bit more tricky because of the clipping system used.. probably the easiest way will be come off the fascia square and loose the difference in a cut course under the ridge...
will think a bit more though..

Well that has been mentioned and i thank you for the thought also. The problem i see with that is that water may run into the rain channel on the tile and over the side as the tile will be slightly at an angle or maybe i am worrying to much?

Yes it is a slight possibility..Have given more thought and there is no reason why you cant use an undercloak over the fascia then cut the tiles to this.. bed in mortar but use valley clip system as basically it is just one side of a low pitch valley..
A bit like I suggested with the Moderns.. but you will need to use the valley clips..

Well i have felted and latted it now and got half the tiles on and it is looking ok
I have decided to follow the eaves edge with full tiles (marley malvern) and run them out into the ridge a bit like running into the hips. They are slightly running up hill now but with the deep tiles i think water will run off ok.

Thanks for all the ideas people
