The rafter table on a typical framing square gives rafter length for roof slopes with a rise anywhere between 2" to 18" per foot of run. How to find Roof Slope & Rafter Length on a framing square How would we use our framing square to measure or to calculate the slope and rafter len...

Pound the nails to place the bracket, and be sure it hits the rafter. Place the plank and allow at least 6 inches of it to extend past the bracket. Drill the screws to affix the plank onto the brackets. Add another row of slide guards every 8 feet up the roof for good measure. Ne...
How to Cut Rafters with a Rafter Angle Square Determine the building’s width and length and the rafter span in order to evaluate how many rafters are needed. Then determine the pitch. Divide the rafter’s span by two to find the rafter’s run. As an example, a building that’s 24 ...
First, measure the height of the deck. Then mark out where you want to install your roof trusses using string and a marker. You should then install blocking between the existing walls for support. Prepping also involves installing a nailer around the edge of your deck. This will provide a...
Make one end of each rafter curved and make a 45° angle cut at the other end. Refer to the arbor plan for dimensions if necessary. Mark and cut the curved ends in exactly the same way as the beam ends were cut. See fig.1 above. Make up the arbor top On an even surface nail ...
Like I said, we have put the foam rafter vents in the entire length from the big peak beam to soffit. I just don't know how much to stuff in that space. Fill it up with scrap? If so, does it matter what direction the scrap goes in? I would think the gap needs to be filled,...
The width and thickness of the timber are not important, however the length (2156mm) must be measured correctly. The type of timber is not particularly important either, as this template will be discarded once the posts have been concreted into the ground. Measure carefully and mark the ...
“equal measure.” The method isn’t just used for architecture; it’s also been used to create infographics in media. And artists have used the technique to create illusions in famous illustrations, such as those by M.C. Escher, in which staircases appear to begin and end on the same ...
First step is to apply the receiving channel or channels, depending on the type of installation needed. Installation The first step is to determine the amount of material needed. To determine the number of squares of soffit required, measure the under-eave areas and multiply the length by the...
