I am framing a roof that is made of steel beams and timbers. There is a valley created by a 1.5/12 intersecting perpendicular with a 8.5/12. The valley beam is a 4 x 14. It is about 14′ long. The roof sheathing is 2 x 6 tongue and groove that is the finished ceiling. I need to bevel the top edges of the valley to accept the roof sheathing. I could figure the top bevels by holding the valley in place and marking it but I would like to be able to do it on the ground.
How are the bevels along the top or bottom of bastard hips and valley found?
I have asked this question before and have been refered to the Roof Framer’s Bible. The problem now is the oddball pitches are not in any tables.
Thanks for the help.
