Concrete or Slate Roof Tiles on new Timber Workshop Build
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2018 7:53 pm
Hi all,
I am just about to embark on a new project by building my wife her new workshop for her business.
My question is this
I want to use proper concrete tiles or slate, none of this shingles crap. However, I am slightly concerned about the weight of the tiles and whether the timber structure will take the load. Do you think the structure will take the load?
