Hi, I urgently need help,
I built a garage measuring 3.34 m by 9.4 m (11 ft by 31 ft), so far 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high using Ytong 24 cm (9.5 inch) PP6 blocks.
I have been thinking for two months now about how to do the roof (I’m not very skilled with crafts, but so far the masonry was easy, and I had a bricklayer to help). Now we are stuck and can’t move forward. We even went on vacation, but after that, the garage was still exactly the same as before.
I’m considering using sandwich panels for the roof. The Ytong blocks already provide good insulation, and the garage door will be insulated as well. So it only makes sense to insulate the roof too. The temperature should remain relatively steady (summer and winter)… at least no food stored inside should spoil (if that’s even possible), and I don’t want to get into an ice-cold car in winter.
But sandwich panels are basically trapezoidal metal sheets with insulation, right?
I’m a bit worried about those metal sheets because our bedroom is directly above the garage. I don’t want to stay awake all night due to noisy rain.
Do you have any ideas for me?
The garage is masonry on three sides and directly connected to the house (on the house side there is no wall, pillar, or anything else). The house is built of 36 cm (14 inch) Ytong PP2 blocks. If possible, the drainage should go toward the back via a gutter, since I also built close to the property boundary.
However, I don’t have much space for the roof construction. According to the building code (HBO), the garage wall including roof structure can only be 25 m² (269 ft²) toward the neighbor. Because the garage door is supposed to be 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) high, there is not much space left for the roof.
The 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) lintel then continues upward with smaller masonry blocks to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in), then comes the U-shaped lintel (ring beam), reaching 2.75 m (9 ft), and I don’t even have a roof or a slope yet.

I find it funny that construction just starts without knowing what it will eventually become.
Aside from that, with a wall height of 2.75m (9 feet), without a roof structure, you already have over 25m² (270 sq ft).
Leave out the lintel above the gate and form the ring beam (which hopefully has been properly calculated by a professional) as the lintel. For the roof, you should get additional help from a carpenter.
