  • 100 pounds per square foot snow load. What is on top and under the panels do not add significantly to the strength. Having a steep roof reduces the vertical component of the load. Mine was near 45 degrees which reduced the vertical loads to about 70% of the 100 psf.

  • Awkward or hard work?

  • The height abovet the ground, trees surrounding the house and steepness of roof made the installation challenging. One of the workers was a rock climber - he did fine. I coordinated the ground work.

  • Great video of SIP installation process - includes time lapse.

  • how much snow do you get that it's a concern to put in the I Joists? My roof on 24' x 49' foot home just uses the normal splines for 12 inch panels on the roof, we get much less snow in SE Pa. I do have the interior T+G pine pre-installed on the ceiling which probably adds a little bit of extra strength. Would a cold roof on top of the panels have added sufficient strength for snow loads?

  • looks like a smooth operation...

    what did you say the R-value was?

    i like seeing the wood on the outside instead of covering it up for structural...
