Model and Measure Hip Rafters De-mystified by Modeling in SketchUp Part A.wmv

[@realcarpenterrealcarpenter7799]

You’re such a clown. As soon as you get told you’re spreading misinformation and proven wrong you delete comments. It’s obvious your ego can’t hack it when someone who actually knows what they’re doing when it comes to residential construction proves you wrong. Why do you think I keep doing it hahaha.

Now it's RealCarpenter RealCarpenter, is it? Weak, dude... VERY weak! Yours is a typical reaction from a troll who's so insecure that they have multiple KZbin Channels under different pseudonyms to hide behind so they can comment like a coward each time they get blocked from legitimate content producers for making childish comments. You need to recognize the fact that you're comments get deleted not because they prove anyone wrong but because they're so asinine they're too pathetic to leave for others viewers to suffer through. Grow up, get a life and make statements that wouldn't embarrass a real man, OK?

I learned a lots from your videos Thanks a lot again

[@camptocometoo]

All your videos are GREAT!!!! Hope to see many more .

With a hip roof is there a maximum span that a small building could be built without using rafter ties or ceiling ties? I'm building a 14' x 32' shed / workout room and I like the look and functionality of an open ceiling. (I plan to use collar ties with plywood plates at the ridge beam) I've used your sketchup method before with building a small shed hip roof which worked out great. This build is much bigger.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Anything's possible but rafter ties are the least expensive way of providing enough strength to the triangular cross section of any roof to keep it from collapsing. For instance; you could incorporate a few structural welded steel tube inverted "V"s (2" x 6" tube size maybe) to carry the load and use conventional framing material in between to support the roof like normal... possible, but not practical. I'm not providing engineering advice or recommendations but sharing the sort of brainstorming I do when working with clients who've been told by others 'that's impossible' which makes me determined to prove them wrong😉😎. Do due diligence with building codes for your area and consult a qualified engineer before committing but I'm positive you can build an open-ceiling hip roof over a 14' x 32' building by employing a few unconventional ideas...

Fantastic work sir. This made understanding this process much easier. Thank you!

[@ccaaproduction105]

Good job, Thank you for your information.

[@donluke578]

A lot to grasp here......very nicely done boss.....!!!

[@fredatric]

Excellent lesson thank you. Very helpful.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Geoff, You're welcome! Glad to know this was of some help to you...

[@raffaelebrancati]

I enjoyed watching your video, now to try this myself.

[@jpalm32]

Very good video!

[@kryptik0]

You call this part 2, but it is labeled Part A. I am having trouble finding the first video.

[@da3207]

How do you calculate how long the ridge beam should be?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Generally for hip roofs its length is the difference between the width of the building and the overall length. Best, Matt

[@da3207]

@@NextLevelCarpentry Thanks, so as an example a 24' x 14' building would have a 10' ridge beam?

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@da3207 In general, yes. Assuming your construction method would have a ridge beam of zero length if it were 14' square. Details like ridge beam thickness and rafter assembly process can complicate things in some instances but you should be pretty safe starting there.... Best, Matt

[@christinaaggychris1210]

@@NextLevelCarpentry bet you wouldn’t even know how much a 10’ ridge beam would cost and how much of a waste it would be if it got cut short...Typical pretend KZbin carpenters, no real job site experience.

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

@@christinaaggychris1210 please dude, Go get yourself a life! A life where accomplishment means actually contributing something worthwhile to mankind instead of Trolling KZbin in an effort to prove you know far more than you do. take my advice so that when you look back on this interaction 5 years from now you'll thank me...

[@juniorpink1021]

??? what was that?

[@imeace]

The ridge isnt that same thickness as your rafters.. which changes how a lot of what you explained works. Some good lessons otherwise
