Lathing - a lattice structure or a continuous flooring, installed on top of the rafter legs . It is the basis for fixing roofing material and is involved in strengthening the spatial structure of the roof . It can be made of wood (boards, beams, plywood) and metal (roofing runs ) [1] .
The crate may consist of individual bars, boards or antiseptic plywood. Depending on the roofing material used, the lathing can be sparse and continuous. Solid flooring is called a floor with a gap of up to 1 cm, this is suitable for soft roofing materials, rolled materials, flat slate. Also, solid flooring is done at the joints and intersections of slopes (on the ridge, ribs, valleys, grooves) and along the eaves. Sparse crate is more suitable for corrugated slate, metal roofing, natural tiles.
The crate can be single-layer or two-layer. The first layer is usually set horizontally parallel to the ridge. For a metal tile, one such layer is enough. For continuous flooring, a second layer is made along the descent - from the ridge to the descent. The second way is laying the second layer diagonally.
