Intersecting Roofs Different Pitch

After a taking some measurements and doing a bit of ciphering we established that the steepest pitch we could use on the porch roof was 4 in 12.

Intersecting roofs different pitch. The roof has two valleys of different pitches of which the lines n l k are the seats or runs. Their steeper pitch also evokes a more minimal design and the materials used to make a skillion roof including metal tend to be slick unlike the bulkier shingles or tiles of a classic. To find the length of the valley rafter on the right side of the front gable on the line k l square up the rise of the roof from l to m connect m with k and we have the length of the valley after. I have a farmhouse design i am working on where i want my main body roof to be 6 12 and a couple gables facing the front to be 12 12.

I am sure someone has had this issue before but when i submit a question for different intersecting roof pitches in the video library nothing comes up. A sketchup model helps clarify how various rafters and framing components are assembled in an off angle hip and valley configuration. Explore framing complexities that result when roofs of two different pitches intersect. We wanted to make the porch roof as steep as possible while keeping the peak of the roof below the wall to roof intersection at the top of the shed roof.
