This course will reintroduce the participant on how to calculate, layout, and construct a variety of roof styles and their corresponding structural members.
Two methods of determining rafter length will be taught: one using the rafter tables on the framing square, and one using the Full Length Rafter Tables. Participants will learn techniques to determine the length and angle cuts of common, hip, valley, hip jack, valley jack, and hip-valley cripple jack rafters, as well as the length of the ridge board. Hands-on shop practice includes the construction of a full size project that combines essential elements of gable, hip/valley, and intersecting roof cutting and stacking. In addition, participants will apply the Uniform Building Code to all roof framing problems and learn to estimate roof framing materials.
