Hip Roof Ridge Length

In this video I will look at how to calculate the length of the ridge on a simple Hip roof. This will be the second of a series of three videos

Good video well explained, another way is to add a saddle board for the crown rafter and the Hips to be fully seated against, when the crown rafter is set against the saddle board it also needs a small triangular block fixed to the underside of the plum cut allowing the longer length of the Hip rafter plumb cuts to fully rest against.

Great video's. I'm actually a chippie and I've cut ad pitched a lot of roofs but I forget thing after I've not done one for a while like whether or not the half span line is the edge or the centre of the first rafter. I always watch your video's for a quick refresher.

Span - Run + 1 1/2 " = Ridge Length ( if you are using typical 2x dimensional lumber

great video, but my question is, how can I find the roof height/rise without using trigonometric method, can't I just think of any number I want to use as height or rise?

[jonienglish]

Does the Rise of the Roof have any Affect on the Hip Roof Ridge Length ?

[MrDogmeat]

No one has done a video on how / where a valley rafter lands on the ridge beam

1, 4142 does 99 % of all, as an old brotherhood carpenter knows.

Can you make another vid using ft and inches please

[priyamroychowdhury]

sir thanxx for sharing these videos but sir i have a one question that is how to calculate concrete volume of roof structure of same drawing please give me some knowledge of that how to find am waiting for your answer

Say you lengthen your Ridge, and you won't get that 45 degrees. how do you figure then?

i can barley hear or understand a damn word you are saying!
