#strawbalehouse #sustainable Straw Bale House Build: Day 20 Clerestory
In order to create the pitch for our single slope, shed style trusses, we need to build a clerestory. We use 2X6s and cap it off with a 4X6 beam running the full length of clerestory. This will give our roof a 1:12 pitch which is not quite a flat roof.
With this pitch, we have the option of using a metal roof or an EPDM membrane, which is very common in the Southeastern US and is typically used for Mission and Adobe style homes also found in places like Santa Fe, NM.
Our next video will show getting the trusses up on the box beams, and we enlist the help of an All Star YouTube Crew! You won't want to miss it!
As always, we thank you all for watching, liking our videos and subscribing to our channel. If you know anyone who might be interested in what we are doing, please let them know about our channel. Thanks!
