Roger and Dan demonstrate how to calculate and build a hipped roof.

A hipped roof is sloped on all four sides, while other roofs may only have two sides that slope.

A hipped roof is more stable against wind and snow and aesthetically pleasing.

The sides of a hipped roof are usually at the same angle but can also be varied for a more unique look.

I learned hipped roofing on my level 3 diploma course at college 6 years ago. Working out the hip and jacks always confused me as we were taught with a geometric drawing with a compass and 3 bevels. I’ve watched all Robin’s roofing videos and not taking away anything from Robin as his a great carpenter but explaining how he works it out confused me aswell. This is the first video that actually made sense to me to the point where Dan has explained how to do it practically with simple explanation to the point where this has all just “clicked” in my head with roofing. It’s made that much sense that the next roofing job that comes along I’d be confident to take it on and not shy away from working out the hips and jacks. Thank you Dan!

By far the best and easiest explanation, no need for a maths degree just common sense 👍

[papaherms]

I didn’t understand any of that but it was fascinating. Cracking job lads

[DavidWinstanley-ey]

Just built a garden building using this method, amazing tool, all cuts bang on 🙌

Love a roof video, as a builder I always look forward to the roof construction, every days a school day when Dan’s about. Cheers lads 👍

[marktyler]

Roger! What a fabulous video with another Master of his Craft. There are so many subtle gems of information within it. I will definitely be watching more of Dan's videos. His angle tool is amazing. I hope he has it patented.

[theyard]

Thank you for this. The video was very informative and clear. it answered many of my questions, as well as showed me other things I hadn't even thought of. From the Pacific North West, I thank You!

[Doug....]

Nice one Dan. I actually understood that. 👍👍

[markellwood]

I wish I had this resource years ago. Teachers at school were never interested. Thanks

[amazing]

Childs play all that to you Dan, great job and ps, I'd created my own playlist for all your tips and videos long ago. Hope your back soon. 👏👏👏

[JamesOStanworth-Wang]

Roger - you have a talent for explaining step by step. In a lot of these type of videos folks rush over things -- I guess because they are so used to doing it everyday. Simple, key details get over looked that way.

[benfurbank]

I'm teaching guys how to do this and I like the way you've shown this and will try to keep it as simple and practical for the guys.

[peterdavies]

Never built a roof and never will. Strictly low level DIY for me but I found that fascinating. Skill - hard to define but easy to recognise. Nice one!

[liamgibbons]

Just a phenomenal video with perfect information.
