Concrete and metal sleepers work well for building retaining walls but these materials are too hard to attach normal deck boards to for a basic deck.
For many applications a layer of plywood underneath your metal roofing is an unnecessary expense.
Roof underlayment keeps water that gets past the metal roofing from passing into the attic space and interior walls.
The deck was trapped in place by the metal railing that penetrated the roof and skirting around the edge.
In some existing structures it will be difficult to design metal roofing system manufacturer to install the system and shall have a retrieve document.
Treated and untreated wood sleepers come in a range of sizes because nearly any solid piece of lumber larger than 2 by 4 inches can be used in this way depending on the size of the deck.
Moisture accumulation in these areas can lead to mold which is unhealthy and degrades the integrity of the structure.
If a proper roof inspection isn t done the 1x4 s could be installed over rotten plywood which means the screws could pull out.
Metal roofing panels rated for architectural use attached to purlins horizontal pieces of wood or metal fastened to roofing trusses are structurally sound when installed according to your roofing manufacturer s instructions and local building codes.
The sleepers were not fastened to the roof and floated.
