A variant is the half hipped or jerkin head roof which has gable ends truncated by the eaves of a small hip end or jerkin head that descends a short distance from the roof ridge.
Hip and valley roof structure.
The tables of hip and valley framing angles are given for 23 roof slopes the even inch pitch roof slopes of vertical and horizontal pitch.
Like the hip rafter it extends diago nally from the top plate to the ridge.

Hip and valley roof framing is no so complex as compared to hip roof framing procedures.
Tie down fixings tie down fixings are used to resist uplift and shear forces lateral loads in floor framing wall framing and roof framing.
While hip roofs are stronger and more wind resistant they can be prone to leaks due to the increased level of joins required so care must be taken to.
Ridge is at the top of the roof where the two sides meet and form an angle.
This runs down the length of roof.
For each roof slope the pitches of the twelve framing angles are given at even degree positions of the hip or valley as indicated by 51 positions of the locating angle d from 20 to 70.
Hip rafterforms a raised area or hip usually extending from the corner of the building diagonally upwards to the ridge.
On an irregularly shaped structure there may be more than four hips which then may alternate with valleys to form a hip and valley roof.
First of all you need to design the layout of building.
Now outline the biggest rectangle inside the building layout.
Such buildings may have more than four hips in the roofs and they form valleys at the inside corners.
The main structural parts of a roof are ceiling joists ridge board jack rafter hip rafter common rafters creeper rafters raking plates out riggers and noggings or last rafter overhang.
A hip roof on a varied plan h denotes a hip v denotes a valley.
Extend from the ridge to the valley rafter.
Hip roofs tend to be stronger than gable roofs but there is an increased cost in building a hip roof as it s a more complicated structure that requires more building materials and effort.
A valley rafterforms a depression in the roof instead of a hip.
Here roofs are constructed with an angle of 90 degrees.
A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure.
A hip roof is self bracing requiring less diagonal bracing than a gable roof.
Ridge and ridge vent.
The roof beam that extends from the corner of the plate to the ridge along the intersection between the two sides of the roof.
Now draw the centerlines for all rectangles that are formed inside.
