This 2-pack combines outdoor timber structure construction with traditional roof framing expertise – ideal for builders and DIY enthusiasts tackling pergolas, carports, and other outdoor projects requiring both deck/pergola construction and cut-on-site roofing knowledge.
What’s included:
Australian Decks & Pergolas Construction Manual (94 pages) Complete guide to designing and building outdoor timber structures.

Covers everything from design and planning through to finished construction.
The Roof Building Manual (98 pages) Step-by-step guide to traditional cut-on-site roof framing. Includes simplified rafter length tables for all pitches from 5° to 75°, ready-to-transfer bevels, and detailed instructions for cathedral ceilings and complex roof structures where manufactured trusses aren’t suitable.
Why buy the pack: This combination is particularly useful for outdoor living projects like covered decks, pergolas with solid roofs, carports, and verandahs where you need both timber framing and traditional roofing knowledge.
