Hip Valley Roofing

The hip and valley roofing shear is the optimal metal roofing tool for cutting hips and valleys on your metal roof panels.

Hip valley roofing.

Eliminates burred edges and flying metal. The custom blades match any panel profile providing a clean cut eliminating burred edges and flying metal. Hip roofs drain water well and leaves don t build up on them. A hip roof on a varied plan h denotes a hip v denotes a valley a hip roof is self bracing requiring less diagonal bracing than a gable roof.

Ideal for shearing heavy gauge exposed fastener panels with the ability to shear straight at 90 degrees and up to a 9 12 valley. Such buildings may have more than four hips in the roofs and they form valleys at the inside corners. A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure. Begin by measuring and cutting the wood then move on to installing the rafters and sheathing.

A roof hip refers to the outwards diagonal joint created by the junction of two roof slopes. Hip roofs are thus much more resistant to wind damage than gable roofs. For any roof slope expressed as x in 12 rise in run the hip and valley factor is determined by finding the square root of rise run 2. The model 64 hip valley roofing shear by swenson shear with its 64 blade is ideal for shearing heavy gauge exposed fastener panels with the ability to shear straight at 90 and up to a 9 12 valley cut.

Makes cutting exposed fastener panel extremely easy. Divide the rise by the run the run is 12. The hip and valley factor varies according to the slope of the roof as shown in the table below. This slope and skew calculator makes it easy by performing all of the necessary trigonometry for each hanger condition in the roof.

How to measure roof rafters including the pitch and bird s mouth seat cuts captioned. While it s common to build hip roofs from trusses or premade frames it is possible to build your own hip roof.
