This is a standard asphalt roof shingle installation accross a hip line of the roof. There are a couple of extra nails hammered along the hip to hold the last shingle in place. When we finish the hip we can simply run a chalk line down the centre of the hip and use a hook blade knife to cut down the chalk line. This is a clean way to finish the hip and be sure to re-use the large pieces that have been cut off.

The basic frame of a four sided gazebo. Note the owners used good quality wood and carefull construction - painting the frame before the roof was attached. If there was one issue it was that the rafters were not at 600mm centres which maximises the use of the 2400 x 1200 a-bond structural plywood.
Here you can see the #15 asphalt saturated felt paper nailed down to the roofing plywood. The felt paper is stapled to the plywood and comes down in line with the bottom of the drip edge material. Be sure to overlap this material to manufacturers guidlines - usually 50mm on the horizontal overlap and 100mm on the vertical overlap. Always start from the bottom of the roof so the water drains correctly. Asphgalt saturated felt underlay roofing material is used for fire ratings, waterproofing and unexpected high wind protection.
Here we are cutting the Colorbond drip edge at the fascia. This metal roofing material is designed to protect the bottom edge of the plywood from any water that it comes in contact with through either strong winds or capillary action. It is good practice for this material to extend at least 100mm op the roof.
Here is a shot the owner took of the finished product. Building diy roofing for the handy homeowner. A nice asphalt shingle roof finished in the surrounds of the Australian bush.
Here with the aid of a chalk line up the roof rafter we cut a straight line with the circular saw. The a-bond plywood is made with Formaldehyde chemical which makes it waterproof. This chemical is known to cause cancer so it is a good idea to wear a mask or keep your mouth shut and not breethe. The off cuts willbe used on the top ends of this gazebo.
This is the starter course that is used along the bottom edge of the plywood - often over a fascia drip edge. This starter course is a three tab asphalt shingle with the tabs cut off just below the UV self sealing glue strip. The starter course extends 10mm below the drip edge to create a secondary drip edge guiding the water away from the plywood material. The glue strip is situated near the bottom so it seals to the first full three tab asphalt shingle.
Here we are finishing the final hip on this IKO Dual Black Marathon Asphalt Shingle diy building roofing project.This outdoor area or outdoor living space is used for entertaining on those warm summer nights. The owner attached lights to the underside of the gazebo and it is also a good idea to set up a couple of those radiant heaters so you can use it on colder nights.

This is a gazebo built in Melbourne Australia with IKO Dual Black Marathon asphalt roofing shingles. The owner built the structure and I came and installed the 12mm a-bond structural plywood, asphalt saturated felt underlay and finally the IKO Dual Black Asphalt Roof Shingles. The finished product was a superb DIY roofing Gazebo that lets the owners enjoy those summer nights out on the deck.
