Scratch-building a hipped roof


Recommended Posts

Just looking at this post as I trying to build a hipped roof but I'm struggling to use the method mentioned as I've no plan to work from. Can anybody help?

Many thanks.

Steve.

 

I wrote a little excel calculator that works out the relevant cutting dimensions for a given width, length, and pitch of hipped roof. By co-incidence I uploaded it to another thread a few days ago:

It's not as elegant as the method above, but should give you the key dimensions...
