Bullnose Timber Verandah Rafter

Code: BNRAF

Our Period Style Bullnose Verandah Rafters are made using LOSP Treated Pine (environmentally friendly timber) and are available to suit any size required.

Includes:

• Standard sizes are from 90mm x 42mm, 120mm x 42mm & 140mm x 42mm.
• Any length & any radius of curve to suit roll of roofing.
• Other species & sizes available upon request.
• When renovating replacement of rotted rafters or brackets can be reproduced to maintain the originality of your home.
• Bullnose verandahs provide very effective insulation – The curve of a bullnose verandah cuts off direct sunlight and weather into your rooms.

As a result, rooms behind a bullnose verandah remain surprisingly cool – even on notoriously hot Australian summer days.

Application

Hip and Valleys also available.

The bullnose rafter, also called a hockey stick rafter, is cut from LOSP treated pine in 90 x 42 mm, 120 x 42 mm or 140 x 42 mm, to any length and any radius of curve to suit the roll of your roofing. $159.60 each; hip and valley rafters for a verandah that turns a corner are made to the same profile. A rotted rafter is reproduced from a photograph or the original so the roof line stays as built. See the verandah rafters range for the concave, convex and Olde Gothic profiles and the how-to-measure guide.

The bullnose is the rafter the trade calls a hockey stick: seen from the side it turns down in a quarter round at the outer end, the rolled roof line strongly associated with Victorian and Federation houses. $159.60 each in LOSP treated pine, in 90 x 42, 120 x 42 or 140 x 42 mm.

The order sheet’s worked example is a bullnose set: 16 standard rafters, 1800 mm long, 350 mm external radius, in 90 x 42 mm. Send the same figures, length, external radius and section, with the count and any 22.5 or 45 degree hips and 45 degree valleys. See the verandah rafters guide.
