Hi all I'm in the building stages of my 16x20 sugar shack. It's going to be a while until I can get to the roof but I want to have it planned out. Looking at a gabel roof with 2x6 construction. Just wondering what the best practice would be to build.
It will be off grid in my forest near my black birch Grove to extend my season.
Metal roof.
I am thinking a steam hood would be the way to go as one less hole in the roof for animals to try to get in. Do I need plywood under the metal roof? Any recommendations on roof pitch for North east pa? Truss or birds mouth? I guess I feel like I'm missing something, or am missing what questions I should be asking.
We just hand dug the foundation, going with a rubble foundation. Still need to slope it the right way then gravel, drain pipe and pour the foundation. Thank you for any information. IMG_20200521_195503.jpg
