Roof shape question
Two sides of home are partial hip and gable. This is a one story home at the area just above the ceiling line where it starts off as a gable then (at top) ends in a hip. Need to know how to rated this whether hip or gable. Thanks

Re: Roof shape question
Clipped hip or clipped gable.
I've also seen it called other things, such as jerkinhead - there are probably other names for it too.

Re: Roof shape question
Mark,
For the OIR-B1-1802
1) measure all the way around the house, add total hip length and total gable length to get total roof system perimeter
2) calculate 10% of that total roof system perimeter
3) IF total gable length equals 10% or less of total roof system perimeter - at 5. Roof Geometry, check A. Hip Roof and fill in the blanks with the lengths
3b) IF the total gable length IS EXACTLY 10% of the total roof system perimeter - see 3) "equals 10% or less" because the form says "Hip roof with no other roof shapes greater than 10% of the total roof system perimeter.")
4) IF the total gable length equals greater than that 10% of total roof system perimeter - at 5. Roof Geometry, check C. Other Roof

Re: Roof shape question
Can be called a cut up roof due to the valleys. But, for Florida I don't think that would come close to muster.

Re: Roof shape question
I remember reading something about hip roofs faring much better in hurricane or high wind events. Makes sense.
