Given: Building 18’ x 28’. Roof slope 4 in 12, roof projection 16”Calculations: Span = 18’; Run = 9’

Using the Framing Square Tables:-

Line 1: Unit Common R. = 12.65”, LLCR = 12.65 x 9 = 113.85” = 9’

5⅞”

Line 2: Unit Hip R. = 17.44”, LLHR = 17.44” x 9 = 156.96” = 13’

15/16”

Line 3: Common Difference (16”o.c.) = 16⅞”, LLHJR#1 = (9’ 5⅞” – 1’

4⅞”)

LLHJR#1 = 8’ 1”

Line 4: Common Diff. (24”o.c.) = 255/16”, LLHJR#1 = (9’ 5⅞” – 2’

15/16”)

LLHJR#1 = 7’ 39/16”

Line 5: Side Cut of Jacks = 12” & 11⅜”

Line 6: Side Cut of Hip or Valley = 12” & 1111/16”

In the next slide, line 6 is replaced by simply shortening the 1st ridge

plumb line by 11/16” (½ the 45 thickness of the hip rafter or the

diagonal of a ¾” square), and then by a further ¾” for ½ the thickness

of the hip rafter stock. The line is cut with the bevel of the circsaw set

at 45.

The slot in the speed square has numbers above for the unit rise for the hip rafter and it has numbers below for the unit rise for the common rafter. Once the angle is set to be marked off, the degrees are read at the bottom edge.
