How to frame a hip roof. Full demonstration of layout, cuts, and assembling

[@brain2831]

Excellent kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU . I built the basic model with its help and it turned out great . It is intensive and really educational. Ryan got another victor! No one can represent it better than Ryan. Thank you, Ryan!

[@SawdustandWood]

I don't know the answer to that question I'm sorry.

[@helenenonodo1693]

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@ab6565]

Framing side walls, windows and doors? Not a problem. Top it with a hip roof? Before today, I wasn't brave enough to even consider it a possibility; fears of elevated costs for all the waste in materials and those mental images of the roof collapsing in on my new addition. I'm not a builder by trade so thank you for taking the time to give a very thorough explanation followed by the markings, cuts, assembly and recap. Teachers like you help to change dreams into realities for many of us. Bare minimum, we have a greater understanding if/when we're dealing with architects and building contractors.

Good video...... you have done good tricks in your skill set. Here’s one... If you subtract a quarter inch off of your heel height on you hip rafter, the corners of the rafter won’t be high. I see it all the time, and it shows when the roof is sheeted.

just finished a hip on my garden shed . Was going to do a Gable , like everyone around me . watching your video inspired me . I took it one step at a time ,following you closely . If I may , I like to add for others who are new to this . Make sure your floor is perfectly level and solid . Top plate needs to be level and square . Use nice looking material . I used screws through out for floor and framing . Very little hand banging . Don't overthink it . I enjoyed building the hip on my shed . My tolerance was +/- 3/32 inch ,not sure if that is good or not ,but I like it . Thank you for a great video and the inspiration .

Good intro. I learned a little but still I could not do this without watching it again a few times. It looks like the hip rafter tails need a special cut on them to attach the rake/subfacia but IDK.

[@andreaberryman5354]

My rancher has hipped roof with tilted fascia and no gutters with typical 20" soffit/overhang. So you can actually have more fun with your exterior on a hipped roof. Some homes put fun shapes on exposed rafters and fascia.

[@spencerdoran722]

When matching HAP or heel height on hip to the common rafter it shouild be marked 3/4" back -ish (for 1.5" stock), where the hip sides intersects wall. Did I miss something? if you did it his way it would be way low?

[@garethgordon9141]

Started off well but ultimately disappointing; I learned very little. 12/12 or 12/17 means nothing to me and it was not really explained at all. Your heart is in the right place but the devil is in the detail.

[@brianfield792]

Gareth Gordon I know very little about roofs,but a 12.12 roof means for every 12 inches the rafter travels horizontally, it goes up 12 inches, same with a 12.17 roof,for every 12 inches the rafter travels horizontally,it rises 17 inches.which would be quite steep. a 12.4 roof would be much lower in pitch. But the principle here is based on 12 every time. Hope that helps my friend.brian,uk.

[@franciscotrelles1254]

17 is about the length of the diagonal of a square having 12 each side. 12/12 means it goes up 12 inches for every 12 inches in horizontal length. It could've been 6/12 if you want the roof less steep. Since the hip is the diagonal, it has to go up 6 inches fot every 17 inches in horizontal lenght. If you decided to go with a 6/12 slope, the hips would be 6/17. I hope this is clear...

[@wooge3199]

Just get a Swanson speed square and blue book......he's a carpenter not a Sunday school teacher

[@maxdecphoenix]

This was a practical video to supplement other instruction; it was designed to be viewed as part of a larger course for people who already had aptitude and instruction in basics. It wasn't meant to be the 1 stop shop for how to build a house. Sorry, but this ain't stocking shelves or conveying plates; these are PRACTICAL SKILLS. They took generations to discover and develope, and years of repetition to master. YOu're not going to learn to be a master carpenter from a 12minute video on YT, it's laughable that you even think you could; which is proven when you get in such a tift as to critique this man because you couldn't just instantly absorb his entire skillset shows you view Skilled Tradesmen in contempt. As if it's just some petty occupation you could pick up in a few minutes.

[@glenn4452]

What about you're hip drop,which is a 1/2" for a 12/12

[@theroadnottaken9378]

also found it strange that he did not cover the two methods of achieving this, so the plywood plains out properly, (hip drop or bevelling), hip drop being the easier of the two methods.

[@hellornitti]

Spot on Glenn, you either drop the seat cut 1\2" deeper than the common rafter seat cut or back off(Double bevel) the hip rafter to plane in with the sheathing and the common rafters. Regardless, you either drop or back off(Double bevel) the hip rafters always..

You measured cutting lines with no explanation of why those were the measurements to use You "They will be 2' 9- 7/8" " Me "Why?

The only self taught carpentry available at that time (1993-95'ish) was a library copy of Larry Haun's great VHS videos and this guy here whose VHS tapes had to be mail ordered for about $35, if I recall correctly. The late 80s look and clothing was still prevalent. Good times. I would go back in a heartbeat given all the horseshit/fake nonsense going on today.

[@iqbalbawa8875]

I have hip roof as per your design. Would you be able to do another You tube video to show how to do loft conversion supporting the rafters and removing the purlin on all sides. The purlin are currently supporting the rafters and preventing them from sagging. They are supported by two load bearing walls of the stairwell in the middle of the house. I am not thinking of dormer but just utilising the existing roof space.

Hi I had a laugh the way all the cuts were made using the skill saw, I don't think the roof would last long with all the over cutting, how weak all the cuts made the timbers, also the setting out was not done correctly, the jack rafters should be opposite each other, Being very serious this was only a demo, I think if done for real these mistakes would not be made.

How about a 9&11 compound hip roof. With just a framing square and a set of knuckles. For a common hip roof is in every Swanson manual. The big trick is having a circular saw that will a 55 degree angle. Or a witches hat hip on a bay window.

Juan Ramirez if you read the info on the framing square,it will tell you the length of the common rafters. An amazing piece of kit, brian,uk,

[@dennissnider3936]

Several different ways but using the Pythagorean theorem on a basic calculator it's simple you square you rise and run add them together and hit √ button it will tell you the length of course in decimal form if you don't have carpenter calculator which is simple of course like .25 is a quarter .5 a half .333 a third so on and so forth but you length of rafter on a 12/12 pitch which just put√2 that's a foot for rise and one for run it'll give you 1.414 which is basically 17 inches because the .414 is not 4 inches it's 5 or close enough .42 is 5 inches .33 is 4 inches because your looking at it as a percentage of of a foot
