Ali Ahmed Khan Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 So I plan on making my Smithy in a 10 for by 10 foot space on my roof. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if it’ll mess with the foundation of the house or anything? Any structural damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Oly, WA Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 We would need to know the building materials and structural design of the house to be able to answer. If the house is built of concrete, maybe: if the roof is thatch, I'd say not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house is made of steel and cement, and the roof is open, I have tiles on the floor and plan on putting on 3-5 inches of dirt over that. Houses in the uae don't have any thatch roofs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then how thick is the concrete roof? Would it withstand heavy hammering on an anvil? Could you center the anvil over a support post under the roof that went to the ground?
