tnx catlad would 3x6 be sufficiant for the dragon tie arrangement? or thicker. 3 would be the depth and 6 the width which sat on the wallplate.

hi tony, thanks for your input, can i let you know that the depth of the cut at its thickest is around 5" at the point the hip rafter meets the wallplate and around2.5 at the front is this ok thanks for your time on this.

hi thanks for replys my roof pitch is irregular one side pitch is 42 degrees and the other the pitch is 33 degrees. can i put a 3x6" across the corner of the wallplates like a dragon tie to help support the rafters at the bottom would this be sufficiant.

Hi all, I have been framing my extension roof but unfortunatly cut my hip rafters too deep, they are resting on the wall plate at the point where the cut is around 50% of the width.. they are 11 by 3". my question is can i double up my ceiling joists on either side and make a support to...

The pitch pf my main roof is 10 in 12 which is 40 degrees cheers.

Just back on today woody , Not sure of pitch ill find out and post tomorrow.

I've stepped it back. The upper floor is 500 less than the lower.

Tried to get in touch with fella who did plans but no joy, just straight to ans machine. Anyhow ive had a measure and the with of existing inside wallplat to wallplate is 5200 and the extension is 5500 so got 300 to find, do you think the best option is to have the hip asymetrical with the...

Thanks for putting your time and effort in to my question woody (and all other replys also a great help)it is very much appriciated i wish id spotted this earlier. However i think what you say about running from highets point of the ridge may give me the best chance of geting this to look...

Hi mate i understand what your saying but i paid £600 plus planning fees plus £300 structural plans for the retaining part of the structure, i no its not massive but its enough i thought?

off topic slightly, but does anyone think the people who submitted the plans have any responsibity for this error or is it all down to me? they were paid to draw and submitt the plans for me as an agent. thanks .

not too sure if the ridge is a big planning issue i think im going to ring the bloke who submited the plans and see what he has to say? although i think all responsibility lies with me when i looked over them and give him the ok to submit them?

no mate i seem to have been taken for a bit of a divvy, the firm was nice to deal with and seemed very rpoffesional but mabye i should have asked more q's and made sure everything was done so it would work not just look like it would!

double post

i agree woodys is a logical and good solution, only i was hoping i could get around this with a typical hip roof only with different degrees of fall on each side, is it possible to make the soffits match by changing the gauge on the slates? or am i clutching at straws!

woody your rendering is better than mine:) ive added the actual plans the front will be lower but if i can match the ridge then it wont look as bad as your image sugests? what do you think? thanks. edit The second renderind with the small hip at the back does look better, although more work...
