first you need to know what tile you are gonna use and what head lap it needs according to the pitch angle.The head lap will determine the spacing
between the batterns.if you intend to fit guttering the start the bottem tile with the edge roughley over the middle of the gutter so the rain will
drop in and not run over. the fist bottem battern depending on tile choice will need to be doubled up or the 1st and 2nd row will not sit flat to the
roof. The tile choice also determines whether the lead goes on top or underneath eg double roman and double pan needs it on top.onnce you start itll
all become clear

It's only an ornament, just buy some laths and pantiles and make it look pretty. Stick a ridge tile on top to finish it off.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Go in your loft and have a shoofty at how it's done. The only question is whether you use nibbed tiles which "hang" onto the batton
or you use drilled tiles which you nail in place. For a porch I wouldn't bother with lead and felt. Just wack on some battons, bang on some
tiles and stick some ridge tiles on top.

unless your house is very old the only thing you will see in the loft are rows of felt
