Hip Roof Support Post

Hrc is a field slopeable connector that attaches hip roof beams to the end of a ridge beam.

Hip roof support post. Unless your experienced with roof framing stick framing a hip is 2 3 times longer than using trusses. This similar to a conventionally framed gable roof. Here we look at the most common. The hrc may be sloped downward a maximum of 45.

So the valley beam carries all of the load of the rafter. Looking at a brick ranch built in the 70 s the roof is hip with a ridge board house is l shape configuration so 2 ridge boards and each board has a 2x4 a couple feet from the end nailed to the side of the ridge board and toe nailed into the top of the wall or ceiling joist. Ive done it both ways. A correctly framed hip roof doesnt need a post to support the ridge beam the hip rafters are what gives the roof its strength when its being stick framed my question is why are you stick framing this why not just use trusses.

Sometimes they e built up from more than one size of lumber. The hcp connects a rafter or joist to double top plates at a 45 angle. Patio roof posts columns. The hhrc attaches hip roof beams to the end of a ridge beam and uses strong drive sd connector screws.

We constructed this timber frame roof off the back side of the winery. Posts and columns may be made from several types of materials. Solid lumber such as 4 by 4s 6 by 6s and 8 by 8s. Built with rough sawn doug fir post and beam 2x6 tongue and groove and sdws screws.

So the hip beam supports half of the load of the rafter.
