Balloon Framing Roof TrussesInstalling trusses is the only way to go if you are building a shed, garage, or similar small building and aren't capable of cutting a roof. Smaller roof trusses are in stock at most local lumber yards and big box home improvement centers. They can often be bought for around the same price as the lumber required of a conventional framed roof. Roof trusses are utilized in nearly four out of five homes built in America. Before ordering roof trusses several options must be considered and decided upon before placing the order.

Framing Square Basics How to Determine Roof Pitch Cutting Rafters Accurately Gable Roof Framing Gable Roof Overhang Framing Hip Roof FramingFraming a hip roof may look difficult, but with the information presented here you should be able to frame a simple one.Just like a gable roof, hip roofs are made up of common rafters plus, hip and jack rafters. Just like any other type of roof, hip roof framing starts by figuring the length and cutting a common rafter. The common rafter will determine the height and length of the ridge board which will establish where the hip rafters are located. Correct hip rafter length can easily be determined with the use of a Construction Master Calculator. If you enter the right information there is no need to shorten the rafter half the thickness of the ridge board. Dropping hip rafters is required to get the jack rafters to plane into the hip properly. I prefer to only load one hip on the cutting horses at a time and cut them individually because of their size and the complexity of the layout procedure. While the ridge board length on a gable roof is simple, a hip roof is only slightly more difficult to figure. A gable ridge is the same length as the building plus the overhang on either end. A hip roof ridge is the width of the structure, plus the thickness of the ridge board, subtracted from the buildings length. Pyramid roof framing on a square shaped building is as easy as cutting any normal hip roof. The only difference is a hip roof has a ridge board and a pyramid does not. ShedsThe first and most important step to build a shed is the planning part, without a good plan you probably won't be very happy with your shed in the end. Math Used in Carpentry Carpentry Math
