Hip Roof Framing Plan

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.

Hip Roof Framing Plan

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.

Key Considerations When Designing a Hip Roof

Where an L-shaped house turns the corner, a valley forms, and the valley jacks there need the most careful layout. Draw the roof in ArcSite before you cut, and you can count jacks and fascia length right off the plan.
