Very good information and well explained! I'm still picking up other people's tips and tricks at 60. For some of the other viewers who are interested in roof construction in different countries or who may even travel to work in other places. On the point where the crown rafter meets the end pair of common rafters, in good practice, we would face this pair of rafters up with a triangular "saddle board" a type of gusset board for the hip rafters to rest firmly rest against to ensure that they obtain full bearing because the hips can sometimes have a plumb cut about 1/3 longer than the common rafter plumb cuts. The crown rafter in between is also built down with a triangular block of the same rafter thickness and this enables a longer plumb cut on the crown rafter similar in length to the plumb cut of the hips. Therefore we adjust the position of this end pair of rafters to allow for the thickness of the saddle board and the hip rafter length calculations still meet at the center of the roof on the plan. Where the hip rafter meets the wallplate it is standard practice for us in Ireland and the UK to notch the hip rafter over a corner tie, or dragon tie, a very secure tried and tested method.
Yes it's common for hip and valley rafters. For an 8 - 12 roof you need to go in 17 inches to get up to your 8 inch of the common rafter since the hip and valley are running on a 45
it's in complete reality 16.97..not 17...must use scientific calculater for precise understanding of application....16.97 inches of run per 8 inches of rise and or vice versa..
@@josephsolomon7935 Hi. Can I just confirm that 17 inches is a common measurement to any pitch on the Hip rafter? Not just 8 and 12? Hope that makes sense 🤔
The long sides are trapezoids and the ends are triangles so you can use those formulas to calculate the area. But also, the area of a hip roof is the same as a gable roof of the same dimensions.
I'm sad to see only three videos! You do a great job of explaining these building concepts.
The illustrative manner of using Sketchup to explain the complexity of these cuts to someone not familiar was very helpful. Thank you for the video.
Great video thanks man

And also nail a off cut to the under side of the crown rafter.

Finally! I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Thanks very, very, very much....
So, so, so clear!
If you get time to make more, I and I'm sure others would be hugely appreciative of.
Thanks for this explanation
Perfect video
Thanks for the nice comment
Just measuring 3/4 line plus 3/4 line and cut
Great tutorial, need next video.
Hey what happened to the videos man? There’s are very well made and informative. I’ve been looking all over for this to be explained.
what is 17 inches based on? is it common to all hip roofs?
Yes it's common for hip and valley rafters. For an 8 - 12 roof you need to go in 17 inches to get up to your 8 inch of the common rafter since the hip and valley are running on a 45
chris ballas 17 inches is the foot run of a hip or valley rafter
it's in complete reality 16.97..not 17...must use scientific calculater for precise understanding of application....16.97 inches of run per 8 inches of rise and or vice versa..

That is correct.

How to measure hip roof square feet
The long sides are trapezoids and the ends are triangles so you can use those formulas to calculate the area. But also, the area of a hip roof is the same as a gable roof of the same dimensions.
Please give me drawing or video measurement square feet
What's software is this
It's Google SketchUp
Never heard of 1.4142?? Too much time to waste in here.
This would be an awesome video if you can hear the f*** what he's saying
No discussion of the birds mouth cut? B.s.
