Broken Hip and Valley Roof 

Thanks, Chris, I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Mate.

Thanks, Dennis, Glad you like it.

Hi Aaron, yes on the plan view they will have a 45 degree edge bevel however 45 degree is not the actual angle. The Plumb Bevel for the valley is the same as the Hip. If you were to set you circular saw to 45 degrees and cut along the Plumb Bevel for the hip you will get the correct edge bevel.

Hi Mate, Yeah I'm a bit past doing that for a living anymore. Thanks for the offer.

Hi Mate, all the calculations are in the Pattern Rafter videos for a Gable and Hip roof. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0SS8lwqf7g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TcN3O7owg9I.html

Hi Mate, for me it was all just trail and error, but there are plenty of videos on RU-vid that can show you how to do it.

+Pedro Guilherme HI Pedro sure what is your email adress

+Buildsum Thank you very much My email is pedrogfernandes16@gmail.com

Hi Mate, this video might help you out with that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0SS8lwqf7g.html

Thanks Mate, glad you like it.

my question 🙋 too

Hi Darrin, I got your email I will respond to that.

Hi Mate, you can get trusses in metal however as far as building them piece by piece like a cut roof, it would be possible but i have never seen it done. I would say that it would take a long time to do and therefore be expensive.

Hi mate, you use the same method as the ridge for the Major Span roof however you just use the Minor span of the building instead. This video may help. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0SS8lwqf7g.html

Hi, Nick, I have a playlist that goes through most of this for Hip roofing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UXkWyNcNM7g.html

Hi Mate, Thanks for your comment, you have pretty much hit the nail on the head with your question. In order for the centreline of the broken hip to intersect with the centreline of the minor span ridge then it has to sit higher because it is cut shorter than the centreline so it can mitre to the side of the ridge. I have been thinking about doing a video on calculating the length of the Broken Hip so that might have some better details in it for you.

@@Buildsum Yes we would love a video and calculating broken hip :) Thanks for your work.

Hi Mate, technically no however if you use a Scotch Valley starting at the edge of the roof you could make it look like a Broken Hip and Valley Roof. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wSjet1eh-1Q.html

Hi Samoan, thanks for your comment, there are plenty there to look at and a new one every fortnight.

@@Buildsum cheers bud.. Oohh I know. I believe I've watched them all. Good material for younger apprentice's to keep them relavate for today's standards.

Hi Marline, Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like it.

just tried my first hip roof on a 20x20 practice structure on day 4 of sketchup. your other vid helped me a ton. Thanks!

I find the hip roof more similar to guitar pracing patterns which is why i think i like it, coming from an acoustic guitar making background. I will post the 20x20 once i finish the purlins and struts just so u can see that for sure ur making internet protoge's out here

Hi Mate, thanks for your comments, good luck with your roof. I look forward to seeing it.

Thanks Gary, Glad you like it

Thanks, glad you like it.

Hi Fav Yes it does look like the line don't meet in the picture, however, remember that 2 of these lines are running at the pitch on the roof and there is no guarantee that the view that you see is exactly straight down. So yes the centre lines should meet over the centre line of the ridge board. As for continuing the hip through it might be more structurally sound however it would require all of the rafters below to be cut around it and use alot more materials so it depends on what your preference is.

Buildsum the reason I knew they weren't in perfect alignment is because it looks like your hip and valley were only single bevelled, to meet at the precise point either the hip or valley would need to be double bevelled, whichever one is inserted last will need to be cut twice on the compound miter saw. As far as which way to frame it I've seen it done all 3 ways, it all depends which board gets installed first, the hip,ridge, or valley. Since valley rafters take the most load I like to leave them the shortest. Good video, I really need to learn SketchUp that looks really useful!

+Adrian Kelly Hi Adrian I use Google Sketch Up to do all my drawings

+Buildsum thank you and love your videos! So helpful!

Hi Lewis, thanks for your comment, glad you like it.

+jivara sulaiman Hi Jivara Try these videos they should help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a0SS8lwqf7g.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TcN3O7owg9I.html

Thanks a lot !!!
