Visual Roof InspectionAs long as there is none of the foil insulation which adheres to, and is installed at the same time the cement tiles are installed, the roof can be inspected visually during rain storms for leaks. If the foil has been applied any roof leaks will be much harder to find and repair. dozer55555

Example Roof TrussA roof truss from a different project. We will be using a modification of this with a 'm' truss design. The shot is notable, because normally a 'truss' system is not used here. With foundation columns and internal walls, the roof structure is normally dependent on being able to be supported within the house boundaries, ie not a truss.

Roof ValleyA scored 1 meter wide strip of rust resistant galvanized is used in the roof valley. A leak proof valley requires a wide piece of metal to ensure that water doesn't splash in during heavy storms. dozer00000

Protective Plastic Bird GuardThere will be two sheets of the facia board upon which the lip of the tile rests. A protective screen which is designed to sit right under the tile, is placed between the two pieces of facia to eliminate any problems with entry from birds or other pests. dozer00000
