Feb 24 2018 the step by step on how to build a hip roof is simply explained thank you sam leslie.
Roof load for 28 x 24 hip.
Enter the extension wall length into wall length and double the extension wall width then minus ridge thickness into the wall width entries.
It is always better to have a large rafter rather than be concerned with a sagging roof.
The four exterior walls of buildings with a hip roof usually tend to be load bearing walls.
10 psf x 6ft 60 pounds per lineal foot.
A hip roof is a roof in which the roof slopes upward from all four exterior walls to meet at a central ridge.
Minus ridge thickness to allow for ridge becoming pole plate roof peak will be slightly higher ridge thick must be same.
A regular hip has equal slopes on all sides while an irregular hip has different slopes on the main roof and hip end roof.
In hip roof designs all four exterior walls support the ends of roof rafters so all exterior walls bear a weight load from the roof above them.
If your project had a rafter length of 8 or less a safe and strong method is to use 2x8 framed 16 on center.
The total load is 4 000 pounds.
There are no gable ends on a building with a hip roof.
In general terms perhaps the forces on the hip rafter jack rafter connection consist of the tributary roof load transfered by the jack rafter plus a force along the axis of the jack rafter for our purposes the force along the axis of the jack rafter has a vertical component that supports the hip rafter the method of computing this supporting force and the resulting stress and deflection.
This calculator will help you estimate hip roof parameters including rafters and roof area person outline anton schedule 2011 08 29 17 53 20 one of users asked us to create calculator which will help him estimate hip roof parameters like rafter s lengths roof rise and roof area.
Loads are contributed.
These walls are supporting the roof rafter ends bearing their weight load.
Easy rafters does not calculate a complete four sided hip roof but rather calculates the common hip and jack rafters for one end of a hip roof.
Structures such as sheds or barns can be frames with rafters every 24 again make sure to consult local codes.
20 psf x 6ft 120 pounds per lineal foot.
1020 pounds per lineal foot.

In the example the beam spans the 10 foot width of the roof.
10 psf x 14ft 140 pounds per lineal foot.
In order to stay intact and in place a roof must be able to resist loads both permanent and temporary that are pushing.
F stands for the beam s fiber strength in bending which depends on the species of wood.
Porch roof extensions for hip roof porch extensions from an existing building wall you can use half the calculator results.
Hip roof a hip roof is a rectangular roof that slopes on all four sides.
Again this house has the same width dimension but it has 2 levels.
Load limits on the roof of a building.
