Title: Mansard Roof Framing Details...
Post by: Wiley on March 29, 2010, 07:26:22 PM
Hi guys,
Been a while since I was last here. Glad to see ya'll still around.
I've got a new project that I am starting, and need to see if anyone here, can detail for me, how to frame a "Mansard Roof"?
Particularly, the way the rafters would sit on the top plate, and especially the corner framing details.
I understand shop drawings and blue prints, so feel free to present the info any way you feel comfortable with.
There are various Mansard roof styles, but just a basic detail would suffice. Any thoughts?
Thanks! Wiley
