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.

Their steep pitch also lets water run off easily ultimately reducing the need for additional waterproof roof treatments that lower pitched roof types require. Does anyone know of a tutorial for different intersecting roof pitches. Explore framing complexities that result when roofs of two different pitches intersect. 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. 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. With this method and a framing square you can join roofs of different pitches and still have perfectly aligned equal width soffits a builder describes how he uses a framing square and full scale layout to solve this tricky problem.
