Is it possible to lay roof tiles on the roof when the walls are only framed, with no boards on the inside or panel on the outside? I have tensioned stainless steel strips in a cross pattern on both sides where the rafters rest. Since I have two children and my husband and I work irregularly and alternately, I would like to lay the tiles as soon as possible when the opportunity arises. Will the walls collapse like a house of cards under 1500kg of pressure? 900 tiles.
Best regards

No, it's not a problem. If you want to feel extra secure, I think it becomes more stable with "boards" (like 28x70) as diagonal braces compared to steel bands.Skarpelandsvägen said:Can you put roof tiles on the roof when the walls are only framed, with no boards on the inside or panel on the outside?

Double steel bands (in each direction like a cross) theoretically provide the same stiffening as a board, but you must have tension on the steel bands for them to be as effective!

Haha. The steel bands are tight. We tightened them with a tensioner like with a cargo strap. The steel bands are on the outside, under the windbreaker, and are stainless and screwed with stainless screws into each frame. On the inside, I have temporarily placed panel boards and old decking boards in a cross pattern in the same way. I've heard that it’s the boards on the inside of the building that give the walls their strength and stability. The hope was that the steel bands could correspond to this. What do you think?

It's all good, go ahead and put on the tiles! Can handle a Gudrun without a problem! Sounds like you know what you're doing!Skarpelandsvägen said:Haha. The steel bands are tightened.
