Urban housing prices are getting higher and higher, and many ordinary people simply can't afford it. Many people go back to the countryside to build houses. After all, there are homesteads in rural areas, and the houses built can be bigger and can be built according to their own ideas. After struggling all my life, I can finally own a house of my own. It doesn't matter whether the house is beautiful or not. The key is to be safe, firm and live steadily. So how to make the roof better? Here are some ways.

Site sloping roof

Cast-in-place sloping roof is the most common and common practice in rural self-built houses. This roof has strong stability and excellent waterproof performance. Among many roof methods, this one is undoubtedly the safest and most firm. The roof is cast-in-place with concrete, which has a good earthquake-proof effect. This method is recommended for areas with earthquake zones.

Cast-in-place closed roof sloping roof

This method can add one or two rooms or storage rooms above the roof, which is a good practice and very practical for people with few rooms or a lot of storage. And more importantly, the cast-in-place roof with closed roof slope can make the house less stuffy in summer, especially in the south, where the sun is very fierce in summer. If the roof is flat, then the floor under the roof is very hot and can't stand it without air conditioning.

Gable wood purlin roof

This kind of roof is made of wood and has better ventilation than the first two kinds. Around the 1980s, the old mud houses built by rural people all adopted this method, which was very simple and cheap, but a little shaky. With the development of the times, this practice has long been eliminated, and more reinforced concrete roofs are used.

Each roof practice has its own advantages and disadvantages, and everyone can choose the right one according to their own needs. However, after all, the house is a commodity, and it may be built in a lifetime, so we must be cautious.
