This document discusses how to calculate angles and position structural members for an oblique end roof where the external walls are parallel. It states that for such roofs, the hips will always bisect the corners at 90 degrees. It provides steps to calculate the angle of the centering rafters based on the wall lengths and roof span. It also explains that the crown end rafter position and length can be determined using similar triangles, with the crown end run being half the roof span and having the same rise as the common rafters.
30. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? 90? - x Complete the Triangle ? = 180? - 90? - (90? - x) = x 90? - x x 180? - 2x 2x 90? - x x ?
31. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? 90? - x Angle between Rafters & Ridge is 90? ? = 90? - x 90? - x x 180? - 2x 2x 90? - x x x ?
32. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? 90? - x Angle between Hip Rafters ? = 90? - x + x = 90? 90? - x x 180? - 2x 2x 90? - x x x 90? - x
33. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? 90? - x Angle between Hip Rafters = 90? 90? - x x 180? - 2x 2x 90? - x x x 90? - x
34. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? -x 90? x 90 90? - x x 90? Therefore we can say When the corners of a splayed end roof are bisected they will intersect at the ridge The angles formed by the hips will be 90?
35. Positioning Centring Rafter If we centre a circle on the intersection of the Ridge & skew end Then make the diameter the length Of the skew end The circle will pass thru the corners = =
36. Positioning Centring Rafter Lines from each end of a diameter that intersect on the circumference of the Circle will intersect at 90 ? = =
44. Positioning Centring Rafter Better we can say Half Splay End Length ¨C Half Splay Extension 1097 ¨C 450 = 647
45. Positioning Centring Rafter x 90? -x 90? x 90 90? - x x 90? Therefore we can say If External walls are parallel Hips always bisect corners When the corners of a splayed end roof are bisected they will intersect at the ridge The angles formed by the hips will be 90? (This is the same for a conventional roof)

55. Solve Crown End Run x 90? 90 90? - x 90- x 90- x The triangles are equal triangles So all sides will be equal x 90? 90?
56. Solve Crown End Run x 90? 90 90? - x 90- x 90- x Crown End Run = Half Span x 90? 90?
57. Solve Crown End Run x 90? 90 90? - x 90- x 90- x Crown End Run = Half Span Crown End Rafter position will Equal same distance as Centring Rafters from the short end x 90? 90?
