I am prepairing to build a hexagonal roof on a hexagonal base structure and found this helpful. Thank you! for sharing your impressive talents.

Thank you, looking for ideas for a cool roof over a porch extension

Hi, wondering how to work out the surface area of a roof like that?

[danielnicola]

That's very smart. That's also something you don't see everyday anymore. Smart framers! I'm thinking the spring of the top of the beam would be determined by the stand height difference of the hip and King common. Divided by the number of rafters of half the span? With that you could either figure out a radius or a rise per run?

Love your videos! Very detailed and informative. I’ve looked for the other circular roof videos that you mention, but can’t find them?

This is a fabulous design idea. But how do you calculate the height of the curved beam?

Great vid
Would you do the same if the sturcture shape was a decagon?
Would the same work for a reciprocal roof as thats round also?
Thanks

Does anyone know how you would go about getting the measurement for the common rafters? It’s raised so how would you get it in the center like the hip rafters? Thanks for any help

How did they put stone conical roofs on square stone huts? I've seen this in Italy.

Yeah I'll just settle with square roof
