hipped roof - a very popular type of roof, allowing the house to give an original look.It is often used in projects large enough homes because it looks neater and more compact with a gable pediments.Design a hipped roof can be simple or include various elements - roof and dormer windows, for example, are very enliven the design make it unique.

hipped roof with his hands

hipped roof stands out from the gable not only in appearance.It is much safer to protect the building from rain, snow and wind.The construction of such a roof is more difficult than in the saddle, but for a small house or gazebo made with their own hands hipped roof is not particularly difficult.

Species hipped roof

simple hipped roof consists of two trapezoidal and two triangular rays - hipped.When its construction techniques used performance naslonnyh gable roof rafters and trusses hipped Plait adornments.

poluvalmovaya roof consists of two trapezoidal ramps and two truncated hipped, under which is a pediment.This design allows you to make the attic floor attic with large panoramic windows, and at the same time does not reduce the reliability of the roof.

poluvalmovaya hipped roof

Hip roof differs from a simple hipped fact that all four of its slope are absolutely identical, are isosceles triangles converge at one point.

Hip hipped roof

complicated hipped roof may contain vertical attic windows with pediments, valleys and contiguity to other elements of the building.To perform such a roof is better to hire the services of experts or use ready design and materials calculation.

elements hipped roof

hipped roof generally consists of the same elements as the gable, but the peculiarities of its construction require the installation of additional components of the framework.By elementm hipped roof are:

• mauerlat - rail, laid on top of the outer walls and taking the brunt of the roof;
• sleepers - internal support beams laid on load-bearing walls or columns;
• Rafters - lateral and diagonal or Plait adornments.Side rafters form a trapezoidal roof slope, Plait adornments - hip.Hip roof has no side trusses;
• Racks and Sprengel - vertical supports that support truss system;
• ridge beam or run - a horizontal support for the rafters at the top of the roof.He laid on the rack and secured.Hip roof ridge beam is done without;
• Puffs or beams - horizontal elements that connect the side rafters and not allow them to disperse to the sides;
• Narozhniki - the elements laid on the diagonal trusses and frame forming a slope;
• struts and wind beam - strut, increasing roof strength and its ability to withstand stress;
• filly-boards forming the required roof overhang and is fixed to the rafters in their lower part.

Depending on the roof construction may also be employed other elements, such as a crate, protective strips, cornices over the windows and porch.

To calculate the required amount of materials needed in advance to draw a sketch of the roof, to decide on its shape and size, and then perform a drawing to scale and calculate the necessary material.

technology of erection of a hipped roof

1. To load from the roof system, roofing and snow, trained on the roof in the winter, was evenly distributed, on top of all load-bearing walls are laid lengthwiseelements - mauerlat and sleepers.They are made of timber 100x150 mm and 150x150 mm, and in some cases out of reinforced concrete beams.With self-construction of houses is generally used a tree - this material is easier and more convenient to handle, so we considered it was his.Bruce put on the wall and fix with anchor studs.Studs set yet in the construction of walls, buried them in the clutch.In wooden buildings supports the upper crown is the framework.Between the wall and mauerlat necessarily perform the waterproofing from two layers of roofing material.Sleepers are placed on the supporting walls, which are mounted on the support columns.
2. If internal partitions in the house is not present or they are not located in the center of the roof rack is put on reinforced floor beams.Ceilings are usually made of planks 50x200 mm.The beam, which is mounted on the rack, carries an increased load, so it is made of two planks spliced ​​iliiz timber 100h200 mm.
3. Install supports on sleepers or floor beams.Align them using a plumb or level of the water, after which the fixed time backups of the boards on the screws.For sleepers or overlap racks are fixed using brackets and metal plates, linings.Racks simple hipped roof put on a par in the middle of the roof, under the ridge.The distance between them should not be more than two meters.To build a hip roof racks put on the diagonal lines at an equal distance from the corner.Racks with the need to form a rectangle, repeating the shape of the house perimeter.rack height is determined by the design of the roof.
4. placed on the rack runs.For a simple hipped roof ridge is run, laid on the rack and forming a roof ridge.For hip roof girders are placed on the rack in the form of a rectangle.Fasten them to the area and screws.
5. ready to install trusses.Side rafter hipped roof on a simple set similarly naslonnym rafters gable roof: applied to the ridge beam in the area at the rack level with a width similar to the width of the planks rafters - 150 mm.In her perform template.The board for the template, you can not take such a thick and heavy enough and 25 mm thickness.At the top mark a pattern began to drink, which will be based on the rafter ridge beam, cut out of it.With a template to the ridge, mark and washed down the bottom, which will be based on the rafter mauerlat.Ready template is applied to the ridge pole in the place of installation of the side rafters, checking the need for adjustment of each rafter in place.If the template is perfect, mark out and cut out the rafters in the right quantity at the pattern.Install them on the ridge pole and mauerlat and fixed using screws and corners or staples.Step trusses - from 0.5 to 1.5 meters.
   

   Fixing to rafters mauerlat

6. diagonal rafters bear an increased load, so they are made of two planks spliced ​​in thickness.The pattern of diagonal trusses operate in a similar manner.The diagonal rafters rest on the top side of the rack, and the bottom - at mauerlat angle, so gashes in the boards must be performed at an angle of 45 degrees to the plane of the board.
   

   Determining the length of the corner rafters

7. diagonal distance between the rafters in the fill slopes hipped narozhnikami.They are set in increments of the calculated step rafters, and is based on the upper part of the diagonal lines and the bottom - at mauerlat.Use is usually less thick board as narozhniki do not carry a substantial load.At the top of the board make gash, and this pattern is performed narozhnikov half, the second half - in the mirror.Lower gash mark out the place, and the ends narozhnikov forming overhang trimmed lace stretched on after installation.
8. greatest burden experiencing lower quarter of diagonal trusses, so put them under the vertical supports - Sprengel.These racks pose similar to the ridge on the racks reinforced beam - in the preliminary calculation of overlap should immediately lay ih.Pod side rafters put struts, emphasizing its lower edge in the sill or floor beams and the top - in the truss leg at an angle of about 45 degrees to the horizontal.
   

   Plait adornments at the bottom of the rafters are installed truss farm

9. Perform crate.On hipped roof, you can use almost any roofing material, and the choice between ondulin and floorings or metal tile - a matter of taste and characteristics of their installation.Often a coating complex for use soft tile roofs, in which case the continuous purlin operate plywood.The question of the roof insulation decide depending on the project at home - at the device it habitable attic insulation is necessary, if the attic is cold, warmed only perekrytiya.Vozvesti hipped roof with his hands is not easy, but with good skills in working with wood and roofing materials is quite doablea task.For a better understanding of the construction process, you can also watch the video.
