An easy way to scratch build a hipped roof


Recommended Posts

I’ve made a short video to show you what I think is the easiest way to make a hipped roof.

 

I was always a bit daunted by trying to work out how to get the angles to work but it turns out you don’t need to worry about angles at all. You don’t need maths. Or a pair of compasses. Just a ruler will do. 

 

Hope you find it useful!

Really enjoying your YouTube videos of Chandwell, Michael! Your explanation on how to design hipped roofs is so clear, well done! Back in the day (before the wonders of computer vector programs) I discovered the joy of making buildings from paper and card and found the compasses from my trusty school geometry set one of my favourite tools!
