John carroll takes the mystery out of it.
Valley joining two roofs with different pitches.
I was taught to split the different pitches thus coming up with the hip pitch.
How does the 17 12 idea fit in here.
The piece that allows us to join the two different slopes is the pitch transition trim.
Joining two roofs with different pitches is a method that exists in the building and construction world.
Unequal pitch roof intersections have always been head scratchers.
The other is to get the fascias to line up.
Slide the right edge of the flashing under the highest roof pitch.
I have only built one roof where a hip was joining two different pitch roofs at the corner of a house.
Am on a job at the minute with as per title different pitch roofs connecting and vaulted ceiling.

One is getting the two differently pitched planes to meet at the hip or valley rafter.

If by any chance right now you are looking for the information about how to join two roofs if they have different pitches here we will share all the information we know with.
It is possible to join different roof pitches but only if you use lead in the valley and ridge hip tiles on the hips.
The only real problem arises if you have plain tiles the small 10 5 x 6 5 inch on the roof.
This allows water to flow off the upper panels out over the trim onto the lower panels and exits the roof at the eaves.
I have done it before using the old tried and true string method but there must be another way.
We re going to install it over top of the panels that have already been installed on the lower slope.
Place the 2 by 4 inch piece of lumber along the center of the flashing.
Would like to know how you cut the valley rafter when you have two different pitches on intersecting roofs.
Then string a line through and see how it planes in with the two roofs.
Differing pitch valley vaulted.
Joining two roofs of different pitches.
At the low end of the valley the subfascias of the two roofs are mitered with a block filling in the roof framing.
This technique is beneficial particularly in home expansion.
First we should establish the pitch of both roof planes.
Joining these two roofs poses two main challenges.
Position the flashing between the two roof pitches.
Sometimes valley tiles and bonnet hips are used with these but it must be the same.
