In this video I will show you an easy method you can use to make skillion or double shed roof rafters to build this roof. It's just another construction technique do it yourselfer's can use to make their job a little easier.

Hi Greg. Your video was very educational and explained better then any other video we've watched. We can hardly wait to get started. My husband and I are going to build our own house as we own our property. Thank you for expertly explaining the skillion roof structure in such patient manner.
You are more than welcome and thanks for the kind words.
Thank you for the video. This might be the solution that I need to be able to add onto my back porch/shop. Once I realized that the addition would have a 12/1 roof pitch, I gave up on the idea, until I saw this video. Now I am reconsidering it. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Hi!
In your illustration, the peak point, I’m doing the same thing & I ripped the top plate to 3 degrees to match the angle of the roof, so sheathing sits flat with no gap.
Is that acceptable?
Great Instructor Greg👍🏿
We agree!
I ... may use a variation of this in plans I'm drawing up. Thanks for the great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Can one build this same type roof with an open floor plan by using double or triple LVL beams across the top and letting the end wall with extra support carry the load?
Thank you, great Instructor, your videos are very helpful 👍
Glad to hear that!
Hey, your vids are so well illustrated and explained. I know this question is outside the scope of this video but how would you vent the lower skillion roof?
Just would like to say congratulations on reaching over 100k subs. I think I've been watching since your were around a few 100 subs.
Oh come on, that was back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth:)
Thanks and I hope to see you at a million.
Hi
How do you nail the rafters for a skillion roof? Also how do you use a hurricane tie or similar to stop lifting?
Thank you...your videos are VERY helpful.
Hi Greg I have a similar project like this but on a remodel. The higher roof will not be sloping away but towards and onto the lower roof. I’m planning on having windows to let light in for the second floor. We would be going from about 26’ high on the high side to 12-14’ on the lower end. Is there any sloping issues or problems that you foresee happening?
Great video. I'm planning an off grid cabin as was curious how to frame that style roof. I would like to see a follow up on how to frame in the windows. Thanks!
I will put it on my list.
I wonder what a structural engineer would say about the lean-to on a ledger board alternatives with I-joists. My guess is that you could get the lean to I-joists onto a double top plate and jack studs in each cavity of the support wall with the beveled plate option from the I-joist specifier guide and this would be covered under prescriptive specification without an engineering stamp. Would love to know an engineer's thoughts on this. Or any building inspectors/plan reviewers out there :)
Thanks for the video. Like 👍
No problem 👍
If the perlin on top the rafter , the rise of the roof will increase??
Your work is Excellent. 4 yrs ago I built a 12x18 screen porch with a 1-1/2:12 low pitch roof at my northern WI cabin. I used joist hangers at my ledger board with a small seat cut so all sat flush in the hanger. Its built to withstand a 43 lbs/sq-ft snow load + 10lb dead load (just above Code). However, I'd like to go back and double up my rafters to increase my snow load capacity. The tricky part is the one side of the joist hangers all being in the way if I sister on additional rafters. Have you ever had this scenario arise?
Maybe it will be better to add another rafter in between the existing ones with a new hanger that won't be in the way. If not then you could always remove old hangers and install double hangers.
I’m trying to build something similar for a chicken run. Both sides will have 8 foot walls made up of 4x4 studs, 3 feet on center spacing and hardware cloth between the studs. It’s essentially an 18x18 square. The roof will be polycarbonate clear panels. Since the roof it’s light I’m hoping I can get by with 4x4 post with two 2x6 vertical boards with 1/2 inch spacing between for the “top plate”, and the adding the necessary height to achieve my desired slope. I’m not sure if what I’m saying makes sense, but your videos helped me change/improve my original gambrel roof design. Thank you
You're welcome and if you're asking a question, try again or good luck with your project.
Amazing…as usual
Thanks again!
Hello, how do you determine how many tresses a person needs on a 40’ long building?
You would need to check with the truss manufacturing company or the supplier of the trusses. The design of the roof truss, span and roofing materials I'll play an important role in answering your question also.
My question is how do I construct the 1' overhang on one end and a 4 porch roof on the'opposite side? This is what is perplexing me.
Do you think it's possible to attach two skillion roofs to an existing hipped roof?
It would all depend upon the design, but yes I think it could be possible.

Email me some pictures when you're done.
@@gregvancom I will for sure! Thanks!
Im doing a hilltop cabin. I used 8x8 hemlock piers that I burned and treated with linseed/turps. Set in concrete. Then used same for carrier beams. Insulating in between floor joists before advantek goes down.
What are the benefits to a skillion roof?
It's just another design. I can't think of any advantages over a simple gable roof that would stick out in my mind.
With windows, you allow more natural lighting Into to the interior of the building.
It gives you a two sloped roof without having to build trusses.
Great video, except the units of measurements 🤭
Sorry!!!!
Oh my god...to much information, my head is about to pop...
I was trying to find spaces in time where you use them to breathe...it was hard.
I need to watch this video like three more times.
I edit out all beathing:)
Do you really have to have that center wall frame? Can you just replace it with a solid beam going across giving you more open space in the building?
I've seen them built with beams instead of walls.
