Building A Roof Cricket - This Part Is SUPER Important!
What happens here
Using a circular saw, cut the marked infill and support pieces. Pay close attention to the angles and dimensions, especially for the 'back cuts' required to ensure each piece fits snugly and creates a continuous slope within the cricket. Once cut, carefully position and secure each piece using a pneumatic nail gun, building up the internal structure of the cricket until all gaps are filled and a smooth, consistent pitch is achieved.
