What is the correct way to insulate the rafter bays at the gable ends of a vaulted ceiling? It’s for a detached workshop. The roofer put in a vented ridge in a gable building. However, the last rafter bays on each gable end are not vented (I assume there is a reason for this).
How do I approach this? Do I just completely fill up those bays with insulation? Do I put in rafter baffles still?
