A wall plate is bedded on to the inner wall and fastened with straps.
The rafters are fixed to the wall plate and must go through the outer
brickwork so they protrude beyond a couple inches or cm. The rafter
ends are then cut flush with the out side wall. This is to enable the
top tile to fit right under the roll of the mono ridge. A lath or
board is fixed to the outer wall in line with the screw holes in the
mono ridge. Screws are not tightened up, as this will disturb the
mortar.
