Roger and Dan demonstrate how to calculate and build a hipped roof.
A hipped roof is sloped on all four sides, while other roofs may only have two sides that slope.
A hipped roof is more stable against wind and snow and aesthetically pleasing.
The sides of a hipped roof are usually at the same angle but can also be varied for a more unique look.

I learned hipped roofing on my level 3 diploma course at college 6 years ago. Working out the hip and jacks always confused me as we were taught with a geometric drawing with a compass and 3 bevels. I’ve watched all Robin’s roofing videos and not taking away anything from Robin as his a great carpenter but explaining how he works it out confused me aswell. This is the first video that actually made sense to me to the point where Dan has explained how to do it practically with simple explanation to the point where this has all just “clicked” in my head with roofing. It’s made that much sense that the next roofing job that comes along I’d be confident to take it on and not shy away from working out the hips and jacks. Thank you Dan!

Hi Tom We produced this video with Dan in response to comments on previous videos we have made on the same subject. It was clear from the comments that we needed to slow it down and go over the points in more detail. I am so glad it has done the trick, it is a great moment when you get something, that lightbulb moment is what makes it all worthwhile. It is well worth watching Dan's playlist because he has really covered all the key aspects of roof construction now.

Hi Dan and Rodger I’ve been in the trade for many years general carpentry but have over the years fitted a few roofs trusses and cut and pitched,loved your vids so much bought Dans roofing square as I have a small roofing job coming up very pleased when it arrived but like many carpenter thought I could improve it (oh dear ) so noticing that you used a clamp to secure rafter ready for cutting I thought why not drill and countersink a couple of holes so I could use screws for the same result; that I’ve done so will see ! Keep the vids going Phil.

Hi Guys, i just screwed up my carport roof by following an american video that stated the seat cut for a hip rafter be lowered by half the thickness of the hips width. This made no sense,but he was a teacher of sorts and i bulldozed along and they of course were too low in relation to the commons. What a royal cock up! should have followed yours. Cheers.

Roof porn. Love it! A cut roof done well is a work of art....... And I hate to say it, but a dying skill. One observation about 600 centres that a chippy won't see unless they go on to do the roofing as well, is that you can get tremendous bounce on the battens. If you're slating the roof or using a plain tile and nailing every one, you really notice the difference in stiffness of 400 versus 600.

Nails do have more flex than standard wood screws. It's also a lot quicker to use a nail gun than it is to put in screws. I think Roger is using screws for this so that it can be dismantled.

Scott Mason How would anyone ever come up with the criteria to judge? Is it about speed or accuracy? Does a millimetre here or there, or a even few seconds make any difference? In the end it is about having a nice day filming the build. Hopefully that comes across in the video. If you haven't seen it I urge you to watch Dan's Oast House kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMV8gdWpsZjLpnk.html

@SkillBuilder thats pretty obvious isn't it - higher standard of workmanship, better industry knowledge, speed at getting the job done. Personally, I think they are both fantastic carpenters just though id see what other people opinions were.

You have not seen it. This is the hipped roof which is different to the gable end that we did a few weeks ago.

Even better, DON'T build a hip roof. Build a stronger regular roof.

Sick and tired of cowboy builders in southend. We need regulation to control who can do work or not now and several punishment for lea ing customers in vulnerable positions such as no heating, water secure, electric certified etc.
