Thank you for the helpful videos, I understood 99.9% just had a question on one thing. I know with common rafter you deducted 1/2 the width of the ridge board. What about the king common rafter? Since it is butting up to the face of the ridge do you not remove 3/4” like the common rafters?

Bonjour, I am from Montreal, Canada. I am undergoing training as a carpenter, and we have reached the point of constructing a roof exactly like the one you are showing us. Your explanations are very clear and have been very helpful. I have subscribed to your channel and will follow you in the future.

Greatly informative video! Can you do a hip roof that requires a structural ridge? I'm curious how you calculate the details for the loads to that will be carried.
I know enough now to build a house! Just kidding. I wished I had this knowledge years ago so I could build my dream house. My grandkids will make the most from it. Thank you for making and sharing this video!

Another way to get to get the jack rafter measurements, especially on a small roof, is to actually just measure 16"(or 19.5 or 24 or whatever) square over from common rafter to the where the hip rafter intersects ti mark where the jack rafters long point will sit. Then measure from there to where it will sit at the outer edge of the top plate.
thankyou
Am interested to learn more please am from Papua New Guinea it's great learning from you

If you marked the 45 degree line on top edge of the comman rafter then at the midway point squared a line across the top edge of said rafter and measured from that line up to the long point would that work out at seven sixteenths or am I barking up the wrong tree. great videos btw thank you
You are a great teacher. I have learned a lot from your videos. Question, does the 7/16” works with 4x hip material or is does it only apply for 2x material?
@TrainingHandsAcademy
3 ай бұрын
Yes, only 2x material. My working knowledge is weak when it comes to all those specifics of different material thicknesses
If you have your hip rafter cut at a single bevel 45 (porch roof coming off the wall) it will lay flat on the ledger. Do you have to take into consideration the 7/16’s with a single bevel and not double?
Great video, thanks for sharing. Please note you have to add the 7/16 back on because you deducted half the ridge from your common rafter at the start of the process

Thank you for sharing.
16.97 = 12 x √2 The runs of the common, king and hip rafters 45-45-90 triangle, therefore hip run = common/king run multiplied by √2 (or ~1.41). From that you can calculate the hip run for any roof pitch.
I have a question that I don’t think you covered. I am cutting hip rafters for my outside cooking are roof. The building is going to have a small box and 2’x2’ small dog house type coming out of the top of my hip roof ( to let smoke out) my rafters come to the point of my box and i am struggling to get the angle and length right on my corner rafters. Thanks in advance
I know this is an old video now but what if I have a double hip such as double LVL hips measuring 3-1/2" total, do I need to subtract anything or am i still going to half with the angle measuring to add to my construction calculator?
Can you just add 3/4" to the run and get the theoretical long of the jack as if the hip ran long through the ridge? I think you could just subject the difference in Jack's from this number to get the first long, but im not sure.
Don’t you have to deduct half the diagonal width of the hip from the jack just like you have to deduct half the ridge from the common rafter?
What happens if say your stock material is 5 1/2”thick and not 1 1/2” thick, wood the 7/16” be a different size ???? Would there be a rule of thumb for different size material? Thanks 🙏

Clear as day when you know how to use the calculator you save lots of time and can cut everything at once on the ground safely
Rather than 7/16 (for 16-in on center framing), do you know how much you would add to the jack rafters if you're framing 24 inches on center and you want them to land on center?
@TrainingHandsAcademy

If you are using the calculator in this video it would be the same for 24" OC layout... add 7/16"
Mathematically 17 is used because the root of 2 times 12 is 16.97 ~ 17
How do you get the 17” number in the calculator what’s the formula?

So, what happens when you have a different size common rafter on either side of your hip rafter?? I'm redoing a really old porch roof. Built in the late 1800's. The original hip rafter is 2 1/2" wide. I have to replace it. The roof is 40' by 8' with the end common rafter having about 4' run with the front rafter having a run of close to 8'. I'm gonna replace the hip rafter with 2- 2x10's which is 1/2" wider than the original. Hmmm.... A 2 piece hip rafter replacing a 1 piece hip rafter.....
You lost me with imperial measurements , but I understand the way to calculate . In France we just use metric , nobody is perfect 😁

How would you calculate common and hip rafters if you have double ridge beam. Your video show single ridge but what if you have double.

Basically, your run simply shortens which changes the numbers you put into the calculator.
Imperial measurements... some people make it themself real difficult
Does the 17” still apply if my pitch is 8 12?

How do I mark the jacks location on the hip or valley ?
@johnlasseigne7676
Жыл бұрын
Hip length divided by run x the on center spacing. But you the to take into count the centerline and width of hip. You can also step it off, but it is a different rise and run. If your interested let me know.
What about rafter ties?
@TrainingHandsAcademy
Жыл бұрын
If codes require them, yes.
Shouldn't the 7/16" be added to the jack's run, not the jack's length? If you draw the projection of the runs on the ground and you draw the connection between the jack rafter and the hip, we can clearly see that the run has to be elongated by 7/16" to reach the long end of the jack.

@TrainingHandsAcademy

@@joelethalcruz4417 This is similar to the 7/16" adjustments we have to do on the Jacks. There are many different ways to calculate a roof, and shortening has to happen with a few of those ways in order to make everything "plane" out so that the plywood lays flat. You have to remember that most measurements/calculations are taken from the centerline of the framing material, but we of course can't frame that way, so we have to shorten/lengthen framing members in order to assemble a roof, again so everything is flat for the plywood to lay on. It's a very deep topic but I hope this helps some.
So instead of a double bevel hip cut n you use a single bevel hip cut, would the layout be the same
My goodness 😅 how many fractions! Find it much easier with straightforward mm😅 I guess I'm just use to the metric system

I’ve framed a bunch also. Can step it off, use the blue book or scale it. Great in any situation. I do use the calculator just like the video. You make a great point. You can’t beat a field measurement. Have never framed a house perfectly square with equal measurements everywhere. Framed a small 12x12 structure yesterday and used the calculator for the hip roof. Came out great but even on that had to trim or add here and there. What if batteries go dead ay?

Sorry but you still didn't explain how to calculate the 16.97 (17"). To calculate the diagonal of any square, multiply the length of the side (12" here) by the square root of 2 (always approximately 1.41). So 1.41 * 12 = 16.97 Otherwise, good videos.
Maybe I'm a complete moron (in fact, I'm sure I am), but I don't see how those derivations of the 7/16'' demonstrate that you need to add that distance to the jack rafters' lengths. It just seems sort of coincidental.
