Joining Parallel Gable Roofs

Start at the back end of one gable.

Joining parallel gable roofs.

The pitch on the gable roofs doesn t change the valley formed by the two roofs intersecting is level. Draw geometry similar to below and select all but 3 top edges as shown. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to generate the gable roof. If the main roof wasn t there and it was just two parallel gables the over frame would start high in the center and slope both ways.

I just over frame the sloped area. Measure 23 1 2 inches in and make a second line to mark the outside of the second truss from the end. I am marking the right walls as gable roof walls and i have tried the break wall tool and have also tried redrawing rooms but every time the program draws.

The two roofs are parallel. Garage and kitchen the second is on a two storey area lounge and bedrooms. The carport is a permanent structure with a normal roof trusses and whatnot of equal quality to the house itself. I m redoing my entire roof roof deck included.

I am trying to build a house with two parallel gable rooves. Measure 1 1 2 inches in on the wall cap and draw a line with the square across the cap board. How to frame join two gable roof lines ridges. There are 2 ways to extend the roof parallel to a ridge.

The previous owner built a carport parallel to the house. Here we will focus on adding length to the end of a house roof. The first method works only for gable or shed roofs but not hip roofs. Method 1 gable roof with offset ridge.

The ridge board is the horizontal framing member that defines the roofline in a gable roof. The second works for all roof types. Rafters are the sloping members that run from the roof ridge down to the tops of the walls. Either the addition is added to form a t shape to the house with the ridge running perpendicular to the main house roof or the addition is continued on the end of the house making it longer with the ridge running the same way as the existing house.

The first gable roof goes across a one storey annexe. At the low end of the valley the subfascias of the two roofs are mitered with a block filling in the roof framing. They come together at a valley roughly 12 feet long with almost zero slope in the valley itself. Mark the walls on gable sides using a ladder a tape measure a speed square and a pencil.
