Filling Gaps In Plywood Roofing

Hi i am building my first coop and plan to use metal corrugated roofing.

Filling gaps in plywood roofing.

How to seal fascia gaps in a roof. Roofer says it is acceptable and the local building inspector. In one area there is a 1 1 2 gap in the plywood where it attaches to the wood extending from my house. This was a room addition added years ago and is low pitched 12 2.

Gaps in old plank roof sheathing are usually handled by going over the entire roof with 3 8 plywood making a more solid base for the roofing. Voids in plywood are simply large holes that occur naturally in the surface of the wood. Correction to this wood product problem can clean your wallet. Combining sheets of plywood makes the wood project more durable.

If water gets trapped. While it s best to fill any voids prior to attaching pieces of plywood together you can fill voids between plywood sheets with wood filler. Read be informed and extract maximum useful life from your plywood project. I recently had roof replaced and did not have drip edge installed.

These tips cover plywood characteristics and proper installation of plywood. I am concerned about the small gaps left in the corrugated bumps i know they sell wiggly adhesive foam strips to put in there. Roofer ripped all wood off to rafters installed new plywood some kind of felt or base and torched down a rubber roof. I don t have gap all around just in some areas.

What are some solutions to cover the gap between the roof deck and the fascia board. If plywood is not dealt with properly it can swell and create major problems with roofing flooring or siding. If you don t seal them properly water can run off the roof and into your home. Fascia boards attach to rafter ends along the roof line.
