The rule of thumb is that hips, purlins and ridge boards are at least 1.5 times the depth of the rafter.14 sept 2016

What pitch should a hip roof be?
The most common hip roof pitch ratios fall between 4:12 and 6:12, although variations occur based on factors such as snow, rain, and wind conditions, which is because steeper hip roof pitch ratios allow for less accumulations of snow and rain on the roof, and lower ratios provide less wind resistance.

How do you calculate hip rafters?
Divide the span of the roof by two to obtain the run of the roof. The span of the roof is 25 feet, so the run of the roof is 25 / 2 = 12.5 feet. Divide the run of the roof by the cosine of the angle of the roof to obtain the length of a common rafter.9 ene 2018

What is the advantage of a hip roof?
Hip Roof. A hip roof has four slopes that come together at the top to form a ridge. Advantages: The four-way slope makes it much more stable than other roofing types, and allows water and snow to run off with ease. There is also more ventilation and space for an attic.
What is the difference between common rafter and hip rafter?
COMMON RAFTER: A rafter that runs perpendicular (90°) from the wall plate to the roof ridge when looking straight down at the roof. ... HIP RAFTER: A rafter that runs diagonally from the top of the wall plate to the roof ridge, so as to form an outside corner of the roof (see Figures 1, 8, 9 and 10).
Are hip rafters load bearing?
Hip Roofs. ... In hip roof designs, all four exterior walls support the ends of roof rafters, so all exterior walls bear a weight load from the roof above them. Interior load-bearing walls may also support the roof as they do in gable roof designs.
Does a hip roof support itself?
A hip roof is self-bracing, requiring less diagonal bracing than a gable roof. Hip roofs are thus much more resistant to wind damage than gable roofs. Hip roofs have no large, flat, or slab-sided ends to catch wind and are inherently much more stable than gable roofs.
What size rafters should I use?

Do hip rafters need support?
The connections between the hip rafters and the bearing at the corners are critical. The International Residential Code (IRC) does not address the requirements for such a roof and instead requires that hip (and valley) rafters be supported at the ridge by a "brace to a bearing partition" (paragraph R802. 3).
