Question: Gable or Flat Veranda? DIY?
I want to do this Job as a DIY and torn between Gable and Flat roof. Gable looks better and not as hot I know, but surely harder to build even if I buy pre made A’s. How much harder is it? can someone with limited experience build this?

Answer:

Answer by milcollector
Do the gable, especially if it will tie into the rest of the house and I would suggest trusses, get a price you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Tieing the new shingles into the existing shingles can be time consuming.
Sounds like you need a friend with a little knowledge and time that likes beer.

Answer by cheezyhill
I would put down a rubber membrane roof.

First you lay down a layer of fiber board called “traffic top” in some place, This is screwed down with holding plates (octagon shaped pieces of metal about 4 inches across). Then you lay the membrane on top of that and secure the edges.

Rubber roofing comes in 2 thickness. It generally comes in 2 widths, 10′ and 20′ and the length can be custom ordered or in set lengths depending upon your supplier. The edges of the roof are generally secure4d with “termination bars”. They are 10′ in length with holes for screws. The screws should come with a rubber washer attached.

If you need to make a seam in the membrane make sure you buy the right stuff – not rubber cement. It is very similar but it is formulated for the rubber membrane. You will also need to buy some cleaner if you are making seams.

Also make sure you do not repeat do not use any tar or petroleum based sealers as this will deteriorate the rubber. They make a special material for this and will say on the label it is for rubber roofs.
