Hip Roof Sheathing

The Hip Roof Sheathing Calculator (Imperial) is essential for accurately estimating the number of plywood (or OSB) sheets required for your hip roof project. This calculator considers hip roofs' unique characteristics, ensuring precise measurements and quantities. By inputting your building dimensions, eave overhang, roof pitch, and waste percentage, you can quickly determine the total plywood needed, including adjustments for waste.
