Hi
im new to the forum and hoping somebody will shine some light on my problem, ive just had a small porch built on the front of my house, its a hip end roof, i have loads of reclaimed roof tiles from re-roofing the main roof last year and wanted to complete the porch in these plain tiles but with a arris hip on the hip edges, now i went along to a local reclaim yard and picked up some matching arris hips, i know these are angles, thing is how do i work out what degree my porch roof is, and is the angled worked out on the hip edge or the rafter angle? the arris hips i brought today seem to kick out to much? is there any way of working out what degree arris hips ive brought and what ones i need, getting annoyed with it really as cant find anybody who wants to shine some light on this, hate to just slap ridge tiles on it as im sure it would looking stunning done with arris hips.
hope somebody can help,
steve
