There are a few books I own in the tagged product section of this video that helped me learn about wood frame roof construction. The "Complete visual guide to building a house" is a great start!
Its good to have a hard cover book to refer to.

In this video I go over 5 common roof construction types used in residential and commercial construction. This video is meant to be a carpentry 101 wood framing basics crash course.
The 5 roofs are the gable roof, the hip roof, the gambrel roof, the mansard roof & the flat roof.
I go over each component of the roof design and how it is framed as well as the roof plans for each which show their similarities and differences.
The Gable roof & Gambrel roof construction include these framing members:
Roof Rafters
Ridge
The Hip roof & Mansard roof construction include these framing members:
Roof Rafters
Hip Rafters or Beams
Ridge
The Flat roof construction includes these framing members:
Roof Rafters
Sleepers
Crickets
Roof drain
Parapet
Here are the basic wood framing steps that are under the roof in order from bottom to top:
- Set up footing form work & rebar
- Pour concrete footings
- Set up wall form work & rebar
- Pour concrete walls
- Steel work placed & 4" slab poured
- Termite shield
- Sill plate
- Floor joists
- Sub floor
- Sole plate
- Wall studs & Fire blocking
- Top plate
- Ceiling joists
- Ridge
- Roof rafters
- Fascia Board

It did not cover everything. One important piece of information was left out. On the gambrel and mansard roofs where is the load going? Is it going down onto the inner box that’s unsupported or is it going down the outer steep pitched rafters?

@bruniarchitecture Жыл бұрын

The load is transferred to the floor joists 16” o.c. below. Then to exterior walls then down to foundation.

@bruniarchitecture 9 ай бұрын

Hey thanks 👍 It really depends on the spans of the hips and if you have to use lvls. A hipped roof is more labor intensive as there is more cutting and measuring. On a gable you take one measurement and every rafter is the same.

Why wouldn’t the flat roof be considered the easiest, because to look at it - it would seem so. Are you an architectural student? I’m looking to build a home ....myself. So I’m researching many videos as well ...as well as alternative building materials as oppose to wood frame.... as I’m looking to do it as cheap as possible

@bruniarchitecture 3 жыл бұрын

What I meant by saying the gable is simplest is that it has one high point (the ridge) and water sheds off each side. In other words its the easiest to understand imo. The gable will usually require more lumber and labor though. On the other hand the flat roof can look simple but under it is sleeper system and drainage system that can be complex and I graduated architecture school a few years ago

In terms of building it yourself, the "gambrel" roof is the easiest bet. Easiest and cheapest to frame.
