Framing Intersecting Roof Lines

After a taking some measurements and doing a bit of ciphering we established that the steepest pitch we could use on the porch roof was 4 in 12.

Framing intersecting roof lines.

The framing required at the intersection of two roof lines is easy to. Intersecting the intersecting roof consists of a gable and valley or hip and valley. Type of roof because it is braced by four hip rafters. A gable roof is fairly simple geometrically but when two gable roof lines intersect the geometry gets more complicated.

348 framing a cantilevered truss roof system. 353 framing with scissor trusses. Learn more about off angle roof framing. These hip rafters run at a 45 angle from each corner of the building to the ridge.

350 using a truss base to truss intersecting roofs. The framing of a basic gable roof is based on a right angle triangle and the various roof framing components fit the triangle. We wanted to make the porch roof as steep as possible while keeping the peak of the roof below the wall to roof intersection at the top of the shed roof. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle.

349 framing with energy heel trusses. The a frame is very easy to identify. Front gable roofs have the roof ridge in line with the building s entrance. A disadvantage of the hip roof is that it is more difficult to construct than a gable roof.

The valley is formed where. Explore framing complexities that result when roofs of two different pitches intersect. And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse. 346 framing a truss roof system.

The rise or height of the roof at its peak is the altitude of the triangle. A cross gable roof is a design that consists of two or more gable roof ridges that intersect at an angle most commonly perpendicular to one another.
