waterfromdust Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I have a client that is bidding a room addition. He insists that a shed roof can be used in this situation. I've racked my brain and worked around in CA plenty to know that this is impossible. Am I missing something here? Is it possible to add a 3 and 12 shed roof here that lines up with the facia on the existing gable roofs ? HERE is the plan file. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterfromdust Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Shane, the quick response is much appreciated. However, that approach is too costly for this build out. The contractor seems to think that it's possible with a 2 or 3 and 12 shed roof. I don't see how simply because a shed roof couldn't possibly wrap the corner and tie into the existing facia. I've included a picture of the start of a shed roof that he is wanting. However, I can only provide a start due to the fact that I don't know how to build the shed roof that he is requesting. I've highlighted the new roof in the attached image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief58 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I agree with Jimmy to do this you will need another roof lock the fascia if you want them the same then you will end up with another hip and 2 more valleys adjust your pitch to see what works the best or have different fascia heights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneK Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Framer going to call you a $@%*&^%(^&$%$@ for this roof, lol. Turn on "roof plane addition" layer to see. Same fascia height and 3/12 pitch Executive Circle repair 2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Not with one Roof plane and not necessarily at 3°deg, but close to that ,certainly not pretty though. Executive Circle_R1.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfromdust Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks for the quick feedback guys. Glad to see that I'm not crazy... maybe his definition of a shed roof is different than what it really is. I'll have to work something else up and hope he digs it. Thanks!

ShaneK Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Shed roof with same fascia and it won't work. Show him plan and get his input. Executive Circle shed roof.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well..... Here is one approach. This takes the roof plane you started in post #3 and goes about as far as you can with a roof plane with a pitch of 2 in 12 and maintaining your fascia height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfromdust Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Interesting... I'll see if he wants to tie it in like that. Thanks, Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneK Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hip/Ridge change would be labor intensive. Time for homeowner and builder to make some decisions. Good luck, =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 When I 1st looked at it I thought it would work too ( the Contractor in me) from wall to old ridge (about 3deg.) but you end up with a weird side roof if you don't have the hip in there , but the choice would be the Owners I guess , since there is no budget to do it properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice solution Rich, understanding what the user wants is difficult some times, I think this is the best interpretation that could much his needs.

waterfromdust Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yep. Those are about what I had come up with, with minor variation. I will be posting the results after talking with the contractor. If somehow this guy figures out how to do what he is attempting, I will be sure to make a visit to the site with my camera and post pictures of the results. Thanks a ton for the responses, everyone.

ShaneK Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It can be done with a single shed roof @ 3/12 pitch. BUT a small saddle or some creative ridge cap work should cover. Picture shows issue. I'm done, my OCD has passed. Executive Circle repair 4.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
