We are building a veranda across the back of the new extension, and a car port up the side of the house to link with the veranda and provide a covered walkway from the front to the back of the house.
The main veranda and car port are pretty straightforward but the corner where the two meet requires a bit more thought.
The solution appears to be a hip, joining the two roofs sloping in different directions.
The triangle calculator suggests the hip will be 5.3m long.
Working from
I am having more difficulty finding tables for rafters - they don't seem to go much beyond 3m in length.
So the hip is approximately 5.3m long, with two roof slopes. One slope is approximately 8 degrees, the other about 12 degrees. Both are shallower than the usual 15 degrees but the roofing materials are specified to work down to 5 degrees so hopefully all will be well.
Any links to tables or other useful suggestions most welcome.
Cheers
