Building Terminology - Hip roof

This time we are looking at the Hip Roof
Based on the Australian National Building and Plumbing Terms
www.constructi..., these terms may be common to Australia and New Zealand but may have other meanings worldwide.

Keep up the great works mate. I have one question hope you can clarify: Does hip roof require king post like gable roof? As far as I know that's the difference in structural design between these 2 types of roof but I don't know the reason behind.

Hi Mate, neither a Gable or a Hip Roof require a King Post.
