THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION ON YOU TUBE!!! The ONLY thing you could explain that is VERY important is the amount of material is allowed byCODE is no more than 1/3 of your Common rafter, for your bird mouth cut. KUDOS.

Hi, how to determine the (8,12) (6,12) (4,12) (3,12) and so plum cut thanks

The angles are determined by the formula: InvTan ( Rise ÷ Run); for an 8/12 slope : INV TAN (8÷12) = 34°

Great video! Measure along the top of the rafter stock to get the rafter length and the overhang...does that procedure apply to the hip rafter as well, i.e. measure along the top of the rafter stock (allowing for the longer overhang on the hip)?

Thanks Jacob. Yes the same applies to the Hip Rafter.

Question. I'm trying to find the ridge board height but I'm getting confused. My roof is 6/12 pitch. When you say: "Take the Rafter Stand length (in my case its 2 and one-fourth inches) and add it to the rise, do you mean the actual rise (in my case 6)? Ex: 6 + 2 - 1/4" = 8 - 1/4" Or should I be using the unit length (13.42)? Ex: 13.42 = 2-1/4" = 15.67 ( 15-11/16")

+dlaveen1978 The Rise here refers to the Total Rise. Say 6/12 slope for a building that is 20 ft wide. The Building Span is 20 ft, the Total Run is 10 ft., and the Total Rise is 5 ft. (Rise = ½ the Run for a 6/12 slope). The actual height of the ridge board (if it is bevelled to the slope of the roof) would be 5' 2¼" given the stand is 2¼". If the ridge board is 1½" thick and is flat on top, you would then subtract 3/8" to get 5' 1 7/8" to the top of the ridge.

Depends on the width or span of the building. For instance, if the building is 10' wide, the span is 10', the run is 5', and the rise is 2' 6" or ½the run for a 6/12 slope. The top of a bevelled ridgeboard would then be 2' 8¼" or the top of a flat ridge ridge would be 2' 7 7/8" or 3/8" lower.

Great video. At the end you instruct to go to your website, what is your website address?
