here some general information and properties of hip roof ( German roof). 1.All the ridges and valleys (gutter) should be at 45 degree to the edge of the building 2.All the ridges and valleys (gutter) should be parallel to one another. 3. A reasonable spacing of 1.2m (4ft) should be adopted. |

step; Determination of roof height = highest king post the highest king post is determine using simple ''hypotenuse theorem" assume height =h length of the longest side = L solution, the opposite = h, adjacent = L/2 I wanted to use a vertical slope of 35degree ( because i wanted a simple and medium high roof) h = L/2 x tan 35 = 19ft ( note , L/2 = 27'2'') 3 Likes 2 Shares

After all the king post have been placed and brazed through the help of builders plumb, the rafter are then nailed. It is important to always start the hanging of rafters from either the ridge or valley. this ridge/valley is then braced both laterally and vertically through the use of line. A line is then connected between two ridge or between ridge and gable to serve as a level line used to control all other rafters in between 2 Likes 2 Shares

the next step is the brazing of the rafter. The rafter braze is spaced at 5ft center to center. |

Next: nailing of purlin. The purline spacing is a function of the type of roofing sheet used. For stone coated roofing sheet = spacing of 14 1/4'' or 14'' for aluminum long span step = 450mm for long span plain roofing sheet = 900mm 1 Like

abdulwastecx: hey man. thanks for the sketch. But how do u determine the shape of the roof from a house plan? I was making a house plan in autocad & I wanted to overlay the roof plan but I was stuck cos I don't know how to deterimine the ridges & other components of the roof… In your sketch, how did you come about such design of the roof even? |
