Default Re: insulating the roof

Cool! Glad my trial and error is helping someone else.
We cut the insulation for the upper part into trapezoids so the edges tucked under the rafters and tacked it in place with tape strips between sections of insulation.
As we did this, we put up thin mm clear plastic to keep the fibers sealed in and fully taped the seams of it.
We then threaded the canvas under all the rafters, pulled it taught and overlapped the seams pinching them diagonally behind the rafters.
I don't know how to post a picture on here, but you can email me at [email protected].
