Today we are tackling a big beginner lesson, which is common rafter layout and cutting. Common rafters are the most 'common' type of rafter in construction, therefore, it's the best place to start when you are learning roof framing. Without a doubt, the framing square is the best tool for rafter layout, but I thought it would be good to show that it can also be done using a speed square. There are many ways to calculate rafter length, here's just one way, enjoy!

@wecomeinpeace5082 Год назад

Shouldn't ridge be one dimension larger than rafter? Either 1x8 or 2x8 in this instance? Legitimate question

@rachet0708 Год назад

@We come in peace yes, always use a 2x8 as the ridge, hip or valley so that your top plumb cut is completely seated against the ridge when nailed, and a 2x8 will not bow as easy. I dont recommend a 2x6 and never use a 1x as they can be easily bowed, making your ridge end up wavy as hell, thereby completely messing up rafter lengths. As the cut man, if you're pre cutting or performing a step down, all your lengths will be off. Rafter cuts have to be pretty precise, or it will give you absolute hell when decking. I have seen old houses where they used 2x6 or 1x on a straight gable, I still do not recommend it. As a carpenter you want your work to be as close to perfect as possible when dealing with hips, valleys, or crickets, 1/2-3/4 of an inch can come back later down the road and give you absolute fits. Hope that clarifies any question that you had.

Very very good tutorial, much better than some videos 3x the length. I passionately believe in passing on knowledge. As a tradesmen myself, I've always told my apprentices if they don't understand what I'm explaining/showing them, then tell me, because it's my fault they haven't got it and not theirs, because I haven't explained it in a way they can understand. This normally puts them at ease to ask the silly questions they would usally get ridiculed for asking, making them better tradesmen in future.

@speedviper47 3 года назад

This is excellent! I have never really known how to read a framing square, as I've never had any formal training in building. I would always draw it out on paper and then, by trial and error, create two rafters that would be identical and match up. Then copy onto the rest of the rafters. It always takes me longer, but I got there, eventually! LOL Now I want to take what you've taught here and see how it works on my next project.

@markmyjak7739 2 года назад

For anybody who is going to stick frame a roof anytime soon I usually hold the ridge board down an inch for ventilation and continuous vented ridge.

@WarriorsPhoto 3 года назад

Ventilation over the top or bottom areas? I go in attics all the time and I will look to see what you mean next time I am in one.

@mpybals8002 3 года назад

ricky v if the ridge board is flush with the top miter of the rafter and you are installing a continuous vented ridge you have to leave 2 to 3 inch gap with the plywood and only get a half inch of ventilation per side. If you drop the ridge and leave 1 inch of miter sticking up on the rafter you can sheet the roof right to the ridge and have a 1 1/2 gap which looks clean and the roofers will love you for it.

@WarriorsPhoto 3 года назад

@@mpybals8002 Interesting??? I will look for this when I am in an attic again. Thank you for the additional info.

@ericdelanoy9570 3 года назад

I’ve never seen it done that way, the continuous ridge vent used residentially in Texas and Oklahoma is 8-10” wide, and leaving the decking short a few inches is the preferred method. From a framers perspective, if you were to drop it and not modify the plumb cut at the top it would unnecessarily add a step of making sure it was an 1” down from the long point, and it seems it would make it more difficult to get a good line of sight on the ridge to ensure its straight.

@RVROOFINSTALL 3 года назад

Code requires the ridge beam to be one size larger than the rafter. The purpose is to have the entire plumb cut face against solid stock. In this mock up your ridge is shorter than the plumb cut face. That would lead to a rafter splitting. There is no need to drop the ridge because again the rafter face wouldn't have full face contact. Also roofs vent from soffit to ridge so as long as roof deck is cut back an inch and as long as the soffit is not blocked then you will have proper ventilation. Roofs don't vent side to side laterally. The vent draws from the soffit. That's why the use ventilation baffles...to prevent blown in insulation from covering over the soffit. Great video analogy on how the slope. One more note. If the roof is not property vented as described then the roofing shingle warranty is null and void. Excess heat causes premature failure.

@Max_Asinger_KCI 2 года назад

I've seen ridge beams that are not wide enough for rafter ends results in rafter failures. The rafter will start to split where the rafter isn't in full contact with the ridge beam. This is the result from the pressure applied to the roof under a load. When building in the field be sure to use a ridge beam that is as wide or wider than the cut rafter end to prevent this from happening.

My group with three people, another with one girl since her friends got kicked because they weren't contributing and the last being a group of four boys. I don't have much imagination so I got my friend to design a simple shed. (which honestly didn't really need to do.) But she chose a pitched roof instead of a flat roof on a 5 degree angle. Kind of regretting it because the 5 degree would've been much easier.

It is never about what a teacher knows but always about what the student can learn. By slowing down the speech, and allowing longer pauses between editing makes for a more informative learning session.
