Its a bastard irregular roof roof pitch is different from front rear and side front and rear could be a 7p.
Hips with unequal roof pitches.
The following example will make clear the method of attack where it is desired to develop a constant for hip or valley in terms of the common rafter of one of the pitches.
Then the battens on the steeper pitch can be fixed in line with the first battens.
The hip roof framing calculator returns the value of the main rafter the side rafter the length of the hip the height of the knee wall and the lengths of the jack rafters.

Next click on the hip angles button and then click on the hip valley rafter slope angle text.
But here it will be different since the hip rafter doesn t lie at 45 degrees to the commons.
If it is required to continue the tile courses in line around the hip line and the roof pitches at each face are unequal it will be necessary to set out the tile batten gauge on the lesser pitch first.
Major side roof pitch major.
Major side roof span building width ridge thickness 2.
Minor roof rise 5 run 6 5 12 pitch.
All formulae are below the calculator.
We ll use the 12 as the rotation point on the framing square and move the other end of the framing square to the edge of the hip rafter material using the 6 rotation dimension.
For example in an equal hip roof with an 8 12 pitch the pitch of the hip rafter would be 8 17.
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.
