Valley rafter bevel and angel???

bhendrix | Posted in General Discussion on

Hi Folks,

I’m helping a friend with his a home addition.  He has a new 8/12 pitch roof intersecting an existing 12/12 pitch roof.  The ridge of the new 8/12 is going to be about 21″ higher than the existing 12/12 ridge.  The top plate on all walls is the same height and perpendicular.  Can someone help me with the calculations for the angle and bevel for the valley rafter?

Thanks,

Bill Hendrix
