Just raised the exterior wall of 170*45 and laid raw boards with paper, wondering if the construction is stable enough to lay concrete roof tiles or if one should wait until some interior walls are up to be safe?

I'd prefer not to find a pile of wood on the plot ;)
 
What are the dimensions of the roof trusses, angle, span, support legs, and snow zone?
 
So it should be load-bearing internal walls that are currently missing, right?
 
Snow zone 2.5, span 7.5m, angle 24 degrees. The house is an angle house with 50/50 Scissor trusses and "regular" trusses, the trusses are purchased and CE marked.

The exterior wall is currently only framed with 170, when finished it will have two 45 and raw boards as well as exterior cladding.

What worries me is not the roof construction but more that the walls feel vulnerable if they are subjected to lateral forces, that they might "fold" like a house of cards when the center of gravity is highest up.
 
Before the tiles are laid, the roof should be sparsely battened, and the exterior walls should be clad so that you achieve shear effect in the walls; however, no non-load-bearing walls should be built because they will then bear load from the roof.

Agree, no roof on the roof :wow: until the walls, batten are done.
 
Spoke to a carpenter who knows and he said that internal walls for lateral stiffening are a must, so walls it is :)
 
If you have covered the walls with Gnu or upholstery, you have sufficient stability in the frame.
