Hip-Roof Framing Made Easier - Fine Homebuilding
Using the roof of a small outbuilding as an example, Carroll first locates the six king common rafters, then uses a table of rafter multipliers to determine the common-rafter lengths. He then determines the run and length of the hip rafters and jack rafters. Full-color illustrations accompany the article, highlighting Carroll’s hip-roof process.
