G'day and welcome back to Buildsum and what I want to do in this video is show you how to set out
the position of the members for a Hip end such as this
so this is obviously the end result so let's get back to the start so here are our plates and
this end is going to be a hip end
so the first thing you have to do is you have to find out half span of our building and
we measure that in so go down here and
Measure the half span from the outside of our plate, and it just happens to land on the inside of this wall here
So I'm gonna mark that position with a Center line I
normally, just do a dashed line because it's not going to be a permanent mark
not one we have to work, so I just dash that in and you put CL on there
Center line so you know, it's the center of your rafter
So this will be the center of our crown end rafter, so I'm going then mark out the position of my rafter half
Rafter thickness either side of that line so my Crown End Rafter will sit right there
Once I've got my crown in rafter in place, and then mark out the remainder of my all my creepers
And they're just going to go in at the standard creeper spacing
From there, so I'm going to start on this side. I'm going to do in to over measurements or centre measurements from my rafters from that point
600 to that one so from this edge to this edge, so they're centered and
We'll work our way back away from the corner
Doing that
Till we get right down into the corner this one's pretty close to the corner some people say you don't need it
But you need something out here to pick up your fascia
So I've marked out the position of all my creepers
down this side of the Roof so now I can go over the other side and
Do the same thing so again
I'm going to do in to over measurements, and I'll start on this side and go to that side of that mark and
do that the whole way down until I get to
the corner, so that's my end done
So now I can come around to one side and again. I'm going to measure my half span. From outside the plate
up to
what will be the center of my
first centering rafter
so again Center line
the rafters positioned over the Center lines are highway and half way and then
We can move or mark out our
common spacing or our standard spacing away from that position
so 600 centers again
All the way down to our corner
I'm gonna jump around the other side of the roof
again measure a half span
put out centre line mark in
position our first rafter Halfway over that Mark and
Measure it back our 600 away from that
So six hundreds all the way down
Till we get down the corner
So now I've got the entire hip end
marked out for my rafters, so
Just so you get an idea at my two
First common rafters my centering rafters are going to go there. They're the ones that pick up the end of the ridge a
crown end is going to sit on that mark of course my hips are going to sit across the corner and then my
Creepers will go into position now the other thing we have to allow for of course is our ceiling frame
So you can see here the ceiling frame or ceiling joist here. They all sit on this side of these
Creepers and rafters and
across the end all the trimmers are sitting on the other side that side there of
The Rafters, so when we mark out our roof
Because generally you're gonna build your ceiling frame first
you mark out the position of your
rafters and then you pick a side and mark that as a position of your joists
So on the right hand side of my rafter
I'm gonna go around and put in a mark for my joists. So that way we can build
the ceiling frame not interfere with any of our rafters, and then we can have that ceiling frame to work off
while we're doing our roof, and then we can put in all the roof members
So there you go. That's just a quick video on how to set out a hip roof end
