THE "STRONGBACKS" OF ALL THE HIP GIRDER
ARE PRECISELY MEASURED TO SUPPORT
THE BOTTOMS OF THE JACKS.

EXAMPLE: 8/12 PITCH ROOF, 8' SETBACK TO THE HIP MASTER,

¼" ADDED FOR THE SEAT CUT SNUB WOULD CREATE A STRONGBACK
HEIGHT OF 64¼" FROM THE BOTTOM CHORD TO THE TOP OF THE STRONGBACK.
THE 10' SETBACK WOULD BE 80¼" AND SO ON UNTIL THE HIP GIRDERS ARE FINISHED.

THE HIP IS A DOUBLE 2X4

PLATED TOGETHER UNTIL
IT REACHES THE HIP MASTER.

FROM THIS POINT ON THE HIP IS

A SINGLE 2X4 THAT EXTENDS
TO THE RIDGE WHERE THE TWO
HIPS WILL MEET TOGETHER.
