Irregular Pitch Hip Roof

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.

Irregular pitch hip roof.

With irregulars the equal thickness of the fascia becomes a factor for proportionate slopes. Placing the fascia to plane to the outer edge is all that was needed to fix the a tale of two pitches sketchup demo assembly. With regular pitch h v roofs the equality simplifies fascia alignments. A quadrilateral inscribed in a circle has supplementary opposite angles.

All formulae are below the calculator. Major side plan angle. To get results you need to provide roof base dimensions length and width and roof pitch we assume it is identical for all sides. 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.

Hip pitch angle example irregular hips geometry dxf drawing. Select the following information by using the drop downs to enter values in feet and inches. One of users asked us to create calculator which will help him estimate hip roof parameters like rafter s lengths roof rise and roof area. We are the professionals for the future of the craft of carpentry.

Two opposite angles are right angles hence the remaining two angles are supplementary. Next click on the hip angles button and then click on the hip valley rafter slope angle text. 2007 jlc on complex roof geometry. Such buildings may have more than four hips in the roofs and they form valleys at the inside corners.

The quadrilateral in plan bounded by the eaves major side common run and minor side common run may be circumscribed. 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. Solution of irregular hip roof. Modern residential hip roof construction uses common pitch ratios in general.

A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure. It will display the framing square usage for the slope angle of the hip rafter 27 50055 6 12. The most common hip roof pitch ratios fall between 4 12 and 6 12 although variations occur based on factors such as snow rain and wind conditions which is because steeper hip roof pitch ratios allow for less accumulations of snow and rain on the roof and lower ratios provide less wind resistance. Major side roof pitch major.

Major side roof span building width ridge thickness 2. We ll use the 12 as the rotation point on the framing square and move the other end of the framing square to the edge of the hip rafter material using the 6 rotation dimension. Minor side roof pitch minor.
