Good day!
I’m wondering how to create a certain roof overhang on the gable side when choosing a solid (or monolithic) roof. Let’s say the solid roof elements rest flush with the supporting walls, ending evenly with them. On the eaves side, I can understand it: the rafters rest directly on the solid roof and are screwed in place. Between them, you can place mineral insulation, followed by the underlay membrane, then battens and finally the roof covering. If the rafters are made a bit longer, you get the desired roof overhang on the eaves side. But what about the gable side? You can’t simply extend the battens by half a meter (about 20 inches) and then attach a ventilation rafter underneath. It seems that with a solid roof, there’s no option to integrate wall plates and ridge beams. Everywhere I’ve seen photos from solid roof system providers online, there are no details about this. Would you attach short, fake wall plates on the outside to support a ventilation rafter there?
Does anyone have an idea?

There have been no problems so far, it looks like new, there were no storm damages, no water in the basement, no break-ins, and the indoor climate has been very comfortable throughout the year, Uh, are you also responsible for the climate in Berlin? What you describe applies to almost every house and has nothing to do with house design.

A person who fried themselves a schnitzel
noticed that it didn’t turn out well.
But since they had fried it themselves,
they acted as if it had turned out great.
And, not wanting to deceive themselves,
they ate it with genuine pleasure.

There are simply people who prefer to have others do things, and there are people who want to do as much as possible themselves. So where is the problem?

So where is the problem? The point? I wonder about that every time you start a thread. You know everything, can do everything, ask pointless questions, and then get surprised by the answers. It’s just funny to have such a troll among us.

You think you know everything, can do everything, ask pointless questions, and are surprised by the answers.I never claimed to know everything. In this case, for example, the issue was specifically about how to create the roof overhang on the gable side when building a solid clay tile roof. What exactly is pointless about such questions? After all, it turned out that attaching short fake purlins from the outside is indeed a possible method. If I am generally interested in a solid clay tile roof, I probably have given it some thought. However, as you may have noticed, I also accepted without complaint that others have fundamental objections to such a heavy roof, even though that wasn’t the question. In that sense, I very much welcome when questions asked here serve as a starting point for broader discussions, because we can learn from those as well.I find the discussion atmosphere here sometimes quite strange; I’m not used to this from any other forum.
