Kerto beam + rain?

[Andreas Ludde Lundell]

Hello, I have just put up the roof trusses with kertobalkar when it started to rain.

How sensitive are these to rain? Do they need to be covered?

Bumping this thread a bit because I'm in the same situation. I've put up 8 kertobalkar and it looks like it's going to rain today... they are extremely long so it's not easy to cover them.

Is it an advantage to stand them on edge? Right now they are lying down...

With the help of a roll of building plastic, you should be able to put together a long covering...

Hello
My kertobalkat beams work well even though they were in place when it rained on them. Just let them dry properly before building them in

Thank you for the reply. I don't have any building plastic available. But I tilted them so that any water can drain off quickly.
