Concrete roof for shed

[anders_oj]

Hello,

How could one cast a concrete roof for a friggebod? Could one use EPS concrete? How would you do it in that case?

I have planned for metal or roofing felt as the outermost climate layer. What minimum roof pitch can I have then? This is in Gothenburg, snow occasionally comes but it's rarely more than 20cm. I'm thinking of a monopitch roof sloping down towards the front. In other words, the friggebod's roof should have its highest point at the back of the house and slope down towards the front and the entrance.

The friggebod will be heated.

Hello @anders_oj, welcome to the Bygga Hus forum!
Why a concrete roof on a small friggebod? It just seems heavy and troublesome.
And can the frame of the friggebod withstand such weight?
Some sheets of construction plywood or a bit of raw lumber are probably the best, simplest, and cheapest solution for the roof under the sheet metal or the paper.

EPS has no relevance.

Hi,

How could one cast a concrete roof for a 'friggebod'? Would it be possible to cast using EPS concrete? If so, how would you do it?

I am considering using metal sheeting or roofing felt as the outermost climate layer. What is the minimum roof slope I can have then? This is in Gothenburg, where snow occasionally falls but it's rarely more than 20cm. I'm planning a shed roof that slopes towards the front. So, the roof of the 'friggebod' should have its highest point at the back of the house and slope towards the front and entrance.

The 'friggebod' will be heated.

Why?

Hey @anders_oj, welcome to the Bygga Hus forum!
Why a concrete roof on a small "friggebod"? It seems just heavy and cumbersome.
And can the "friggebod" frame handle such weight?
Some sheets of construction plywood or a bit of raw timber are probably the best, simplest, and cheapest solution for the roof under the metal or felt.

hey,

the entire frame will be cast in concrete

Why?

Pretty much just because it's fun to build in a durable material

Basically just because it's fun to build with a durable material

It becomes a shelter!
But say it like it is, you work in the industry and get concrete and rebar "for free".

Yes, I don't pay much for it
