OTHER ROOF FORMING SYSTEMS
There are a bunch of us folks out there looking for the ideal way to form and pour concrete and masonry roofs.
I have had good luck with movable / reusable metal formwork – but my system certainly isn’t the only one.
My latest idea is pre-fabricated, arched triangle, roof panels.
