St Albans Church

Here is where the rafter goes into the next section of the building. It is a neat finish although there are gaps.

If you look closely you can see some services going down the wall.

One sunday morning i was sitting in church and looked around the building and noticed it to be a portal frame, although it looks a little different.

This frame doesn't have so much haunching as originally said, cos i thought it had to be one third of the lenght.

This is a good example because you can see additional bracing in the column.

Inside Details

Here are some detaisl of the roof on the inside. As you can see from the second picture you can see daylight through the gaps between the woodwork and the guttering. This will not keep the water out. If you look closely the wood work is rotting st the ends there moisture as come in.

The corrigation presents the same issue with leaving gaps where the roofing material meets the gutter. This is a huge issue considering the roof of the other garage is draining water straight towards these gaps.

Inside the Garage

This is the drainage system inside the garage. The guttering is visible inside one of the garages. The pipes run down inside the building as well. This presents problems of over flow and the impact it will have on the interior of the building.

Detail of Gutter

This is a detail of the actual gutter itself and how the two roofs meet the gutter.

Box Gutter Details

This is a box gutter that is used for drainage of a two garages side by side. Both roofs angle down to the gutter from about a 60 degree angle.
