Calculate the length of a common rafter, and the length of a hip rafter based on the common rafter length.
Calculation
- building width in feet and inches (outside sheating to outside sheating)
- overhang in inches (from outside sheating to sub-fascia)
- ridge board thickness in inches
- slope ratio, amount of rise per foot of run in inches
