Smart way to attach windyn, desired?

[fredand44]

Hello!

I'm working on a garage and need to attach windy to the upper part of the garage, i.e., the gables.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a good picture on hand right now, but this is roughly what it looks like.

Standing studs have been added in the gables and roof.

An old drawing shows approximately how the standing studs in the gables are positioned.

My question now is if anyone has any clever way to attach the so-called windy to the gable. I mean, on a square wall it's easy, but here it's triangular. Is there a smart way to save?

My thought is perhaps to cut square strips, a little wider than cc60, and cover each stud bay. Then you add an extra strip along the roof and truss, which will cover the gap where the square strips don't cover against the roof.

Extremely grateful for tips.

Best regards,
Fredrik

windy doesn't cost particularly much so it's probably best to do what's fastest and simplest.

measure the length to the middle of the house and cut the windyn a little longer. Staple from ridge to end, cut along the roof and what falls down fits exactly on the other side. The bigger the piece, the better!

Yes, like taking half and half should work perfectly!

Thanks a lot for the tip!

Best regards

take the length to the middle of the house and cut the windyn a bit longer. Staple from ridge to end, cut after the roof and what falls down fits exactly on the other side. The bigger the piece, the better!

That assumes you cut all the way down to the corner on the eave side… (though that's probably what you meant - just wanted to clarify) I have made that mistake several times when we've placed Windy on gables

Let's say the pink is the part you are going to put up. If you only cut the excess there, the other piece won't be enough for the other side. You kind of have to add those 35 cm to the eave end... The total length of the piece you cut on the ground in my picture should therefore be 102+35+ a little extra in this case - then it's enough for both sides..!
