I'm not sure I'm following you at all do you have trusses or rafters? You wanted fancy tails, okay.what is specified in the contract? What is in the plans and in the specs? The tails have to be DOVETAILED into the existing roof trusses? I don't think so. I would love to know what your experience is with this.anyone? with a sassy modern look.hey, I'm not making this up (my landscape designer told me this today). Has anyone else experienced this? What are you doing about your rafter tails? My home is a Med. that's 6K I had no idea I was going to spend. The cost is approximately $60 per "tail". I had to go to the local lumber mill (dixieline) and give them the drawing for the rafter tail design. I am writing this thread to inform you, if you want the look, it takes more planning then to just say, yeah, that looks good, do it. The length of the "tail" has to be a 3 -1 measurement, this will equate to approximately a 6 foot "tail" that needs to be dovetailed onto the existing roof truss. I need about 100 rafter tails around my house. It's a lot of work and the added decorative measure can really add up. The rafter tails, if you want them decorative have to be dovetailed into the roof trusses/beams that run the slant range of the roof. I had originally specified I wanted some sort of decorative rafter tails, but I thought the roof trusses/beams just came that way.īoy was I wrong. So here we are, finally framing in the second story of our home and I get a call from the framer asking me about the rafter tails.
