Hip Roof Framing
I need advice/help as to how to frame hip roof. Garage is 35x40 with a desired 10/12 pitch roof. Any advise or link to a instructional website will be greatly appreciated.

baire1265,
Best suggestion is to purchase a Rafter Square. It has a good set of directions on how to use it. You'll never be lost with it!
Here is one source.

IBM5081,
The question is how to build one. The purchase of a roof square will be allot easier.
This garage of 35 x 40 with a 10/12 pitch means that the peak of this garage will be 14'-11 1/2" from the top plate. (Top of the hip)
Unsure if baire1265 really needs a roof this tall but hope he has checked on building height if in a municipality that restricts height. (usually they go for mid-point height) but this is still tall.
Hope this helps!

Here's the book that I have:

Yes, a rafter square is a desirable tool for this project. The book will cover anything not included in the standard sizes that come with a rafter square.
