Roof Framing Plan
The Urban Pavilion’s contemporary flat roof (1/12 pitch) is designed with a standard 2’ overhang around the entire perimeter. The roof system consists of 3-ply 2x12 beams, 2x10 joists, and 5/8” T&G plywood sheathing.
Flat roofs do not always require vents. If vents are desired, they can be installed on the tallest wall or sidewalls of the building. Consult with your contractor or roofing company, for the most effective ventilation system for your roof.

Overhang Detail
The soffit covers the underside of the Urban Pavilion’s overhang and extends throughout the canopy ceiling.
Fascia (typically 1x4 cedar) is the board that runs along the bottom edge of the roof, trimming the eaves with a nice, straight line.

Foundations
Choosing the right foundation will depend on your Urban Pavilion’s size, location, and purpose. The preferred foundation for an Urban Pavilion is a floating concrete slab. Piers may also be an option.
