The planes of the roof slope up from every side so the framing braces the roof from all sides.

One of the strongest ways to frame a roof is using a hip roof design.
Saved by norcal a s.
If the building is square and the sides are of equal length the roof planes will meet at a point as in a pyramid.
Porch roof extensions for hip roof porch extensions from an existing building wall you can use half the calculator results.
The hip roof framing calculator returns the value of the main rafter the side rafter the length of the hip the height of the knee wall and the lengths of the jack rafters.
A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure.

Next click on the hip angles button and then click on the hip valley rafter slope angle text.
Mark 3 perpendicular lines on the top edge of the hip rafter using these dimensions.
Such buildings may have more than four hips in the roofs and they form valleys at the inside corners.
This type of roof is also called broken back hip and valley roof because the main hips are intconeected by the rafter of gables on one side and the rafter of the valley on the other.
Enter the extension wall length into wall length and double the extension wall width then minus ridge thickness into the wall width entries.
Minus ridge thickness to allow for ridge becoming pole plate roof peak will be slightly higher ridge thick must be same.
When framing irregular hip valley roofs the h v rafter members are not equally split by the sheathing lines.
Most roof eave angle corners are at 90.
For irregular or bastard hip roofs the roof eave angle can be between 35 and 150 you ll get an unconstructable error message if the roof is unconstructable with the current input parameters.
It will display the framing square usage for the slope angle of the hip rafter 27 50055 6 12.
