One of the most helpful videos about ceilings and roofs I have seen. Thank you for sharing this info with us.

good stuff, and such a pleasant voice.

What an excellent video, straight to the point and loaded with information, thank you so much for it

This was the information I've been looking for, thank you!

I played around with a few ideas for my roof replacement last summer. I finally settled on factory-made trusses and I am very happy with the result. Two section roof 18.5' x 24' and 24' x 14'. This required 11@18.5' span trusses and 8@24' span trusses and cost me just over $2,200. My limiting factor here in Newfoundland was lead-time from the truss factory (about eight weeks) and it also drove up my cost as the largest factory here was 10 percent less expensive but the lead time was double.

Great information and doubly useful with the nifty Sketchup supporting imagery. Love it.

Well demonstrated video on designing roof structure using computer modeling. It’s a great way to derive unique and durable roof designs. Thanks for sharing this informative clip.

Thanks for posting this video. Good basic info!

Very nice presentation that follows a logical flow and easy to understand. Thanks!

Clear explanation! Brilliant. I am trying to Learn how to design roofs.

Great teaching style. I am having a loft conversion done and had difficulty working out what was going to happen in my roof - feel enlightened. Thank you.

Wow, great video! I have a mid-term in 38hrs, this helps a lot.

Excellent video. I never new or heard how roofs are done. This is quick and to the point :-)

Very informative guidelines especially for beginners.

great video!

great video..nice explanation

Very nicely put, very watchable,thank you,

Thanks for uploading this summary. Is this part of a series and if so are other parts available? I'm researching how to design an open pitch roof for an extension that is 5m wide..

Very Good , so interesting .

I really like your video. I build a small house of 6 / 4m and I build the roof now. I bought beams for the attic, they are 8 / 8cm, (the base of the rafters, the rest of the rafters are also 8 / 8cm.), They are placed horizontally on the walls (concrete blocks), the base of the attic. I'm a little worried they're not thick enough, I mean those that are laid horizontally. Can you tell me if they are thick enough? Thank you very much.

Very informative and well presented video. However, your use of the term Queen Post truss to describe the arrangement shown at 2:42 is incorrect. While this does indeed look similar to a Queen Post truss arrangement, the structure is not working in this way. This is because the vertical post you have provided is working in compression to support the purlin. In a true Queen Post or Palladian truss arrangement, this vertical member works in tension to support the main horizontal tie beam below.

what if i got 3 load bearing walls, and make a stud wall from the midle of the house up to suport the ridge

I love this you are hilararious

Very nice. Thanks

Sometimes we do roofs with a vaulted ceiling using a laminated Ridge beam and depending on the spans etc without purlins.

Your voice is so charming~

hi in the queen post is it possible to remove the centre cross member and if so diagonal support or straight support, thanks

Very nice

Can you please do one on how truss rafter roof works and why it's needed and then how the roof can be adapted to make dormers with no truss webs? Would be great as you explain things much better then the others!

What program do you use for modeling, it looks nice

The video capture is done using Camtasia; the modelling with Sketchup.

When you say "of course we need one of these tie-beams for each rafter" I don't agree. I've seen a roof 6m long with two wires(doing the job of ties) stopping the lateral movement. No sag in the roof after 25 years. I know it's the custom but don't believe it is structurally necessary to have a tie for each rafter. I think the practice of using pre-made trusses has brought this into fashion. Excellent vid all the same, just a picky point. I've done a lot of building incl my own house. I've got a double carport with nine posts (3 lines of 3) and am thinking of taking the central one out and replacing it with a truss/collar/tie arrangement of some sort. That's what brought me here.

very handy

I am considering constructing timber shed 1.8 m wide and 4.8 m long using 2 x4 inch timber for the walls and rafters. Will I need rafter ties? Concrete roof tiles like on a house Thanks. Great video

Which of the two designs is stronger, if the width of the building is quite large, like 6-7 meters? Bigger, heavier logs, or the smaller, lighter repeated design?

🔥🔥🔥RED🔥🔥🔥

what program are you using???

I have ceiling joists that are half way up the rafters. Is that a structral issue?

excellent video. One missing element though. The horizontal stability members to keep the trusses in alignment on intended centers. Could you add to your video please? Roof sheathing can be the element or timber members inside the trusses perpendicular to the direction of the trusses.

hello im a complete beginner,what kind of programs i need to design my home ty

hi, this is a great video, very informative. i think, i may have a problem with my roof. it is a timber roof 6mx8m. there are a couple of very thick beams which are completely loose. if i took a video of it, could you have a look and comment?

Fortunately steel pipes with L-beams are forbidden in support scenarios.

i hate doing angle cuts with a power saw and a jig!

10/10 one room How much cost please.. Inform..

What's the name of the program you're using by the way awesome

dominioni can you explain

#serviceyard #onedge #shopdrawings

whats the program u use ?

What program are you using?

Do it a school or company work in Ghana

What is this apps name

#volcanicsystems

Why and how would there be a load at the peak where she placed the arrow? Ahahahaha. What does that simulate exactly?

any real estate agents in here?

痛風

Hi ya Great vid solent bird , I'm a loft convertor up north , apex lofts in google should be top hit if you'd like to check me out. I'm looking for something simular to this video to explain how i take a normal low pitched roof off and place attic trusses on. Im not sure how to get hold of you to have a chat. thanks woody

lol, computer carpenters.

Triangulation

gay

Stupid model, you have to construct two side wall just to support your roof
