how were the joints dealt with?

11 years ago
I am looking at doing the same in a project on the coast.
How do you get the dark line between the panels? is it an edge/joiner? what is the distance between panels?
Do all of the edges of the panels need to be fixed and supported by rafters/ noggins? or can they over hang?
what about cuts? did you get them manufactured off site?
do you have an approx sqm rate?

    Working from memory: The panels are prefinished maple face with exposed trimhead screws (in a nice pattern of 3 at each corner) over 3/4" furring strips (stained black) that are attached to the rafters. The furring strips back all of the edges. I don't think there is edge banding on the panels, but the joints are kept tight (1/16"?) so that there is a dark shadow line. There is a line of curved panels at the valley (not seen in this photo) that was achieved by back kerfing the panel so it could take the bend.

    The panels were cut on site & installed by the homeowners, so I do not have any cost information.

    To be honest, I don't remember. If I had to guess, I'd say panels precut offsite, with adjustments to the perimeter made on site.
