Pitched Roof Against Wall

Drill holes at these marks to allow a 6 nail to be driven through the wall plate into the joists.

Pitched roof against wall.

Hi our sunroom is going to have a pitched 35 degrees roof with rosemary tiles. The most common roof to wall intersections involve either a gable roof with its ridge running perpendicular to the wall or a shed roof that slopes downward away from the wall. Proper roof wall abutment flashing examples. Its about 20ft by 10ft.

Lay a thick layer of cement on existing brick work then place the wall plate on this and get a good level. The flat roofing material must go up the wall a minimum of 12 or up the wall and over the top of the wall if the wall is less than 12 high. 2 of the walls come against a vertical wall the 1st floor. Below are two photographs of roof wall step flashing completed and effective of a slate roof against a brick wall below left and in process with step flashing against a dormer sidewall before the dormer siding has been put in place below right.
