Hip Roof Framing Plan
A hip roof slopes down on every side, so it sheds wind and rain well and gives a house an even overhang all the way around. ArcSite's hip roof framing plan maps every hip jack and valley jack on an L-shaped roof, right out to the fascia board.
Key Features
This hip roof framing plan includes:
- L-shaped hip roof in plan view
- Hip rafters at every outside corner
- Hip jacks stepping down to the walls
- Valley rafter where the two wings meet
- Valley jacks off the valley
- Common rafters between the hips
- Fascia board around the overhang
Every jack along a hip or valley is a different length, so pull those lengths off the plan instead of cutting to fit up on the roof.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between hip jacks and valley jacks?
Hip jacks run from the wall plate up to a hip rafter. Valley jacks run from a valley rafter up to the ridge. This plan shows both where the two wings meet.
Can I switch one wing to a gable?
Absolutely. Redraw that end in ArcSite with common rafters up to a gable wall.
Can the homeowner sign off on the roof plan?
They can. Send the hip roof plan inside your ArcSite proposal next to the price, and they approve it with a tap or a signature before you order materials.
