Irregular Pitch Hip Roofs
w/Equal Overhangs
Drawn for $35
Unequal pitch roofs are hard enough to design and when you add equal overhang you have really kicked it up a notch. To make the overhang come out equal to the regular pitch side which is usually the front and back hip you simply have to raise the irregular hip roof side to match. Problem is that is not always an easy thing to figure out.
If you have plenty of time and the desire to learn something you might never use again or have to come back and relearn the process over just purchase half a dozen books on the topic and try to figure out which way is the best or most simply way to do this.
