Definition of a Rafter
Single timber supporting a roof section.

Rafter Slope
Roofs are not flatPros and cons of low or steep roofs Cost of steep is higher for materials Harder and more dangerous to work on if steep Steep roofs have greater ability to withstand load
Pitch Expressed as a Fraction ¼, 1/6, 1/8, etc.
Rise/foot of run Example: 2 in./ ft. Used in more plans today than pitch

Procedures for Rafter Layout
Three Techniques A2 + B2 = C2
Example: If A=4 , B=3 then what would c=?
16 + 9 = 25 then C= sq root of 25 which is 5
A= Run of Roof

Resources Needed to Layout and Cut a Rafter
Timber/Lumber (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc)Measuring Device-- Tape MeasureMarking PencilRafter/Carpenter’s SquareSawSawhorses Note: The class project rafter layout will need
some different supplies.

Steps to layout of Rafter Using the Rafter Table.
Determine Rise or PitchDetermine the Span and/or RunUsing the table for common rafters on the Rafter Square Identify the length of rafter per ft of run.

Rafter Layout Continued
Multiply the run times the number from the table. That number is the length of the rafter… But you are not done yet…Identify the end of the board that you want to make the ridge cut. The square has a tongue and a body Tongue is the smaller of the two 18 inches
long and 1 ½ inches wide. Body is larger 24 inches long and 2 inches
wide.

Parts of a Framing or Rafter Square
1.5 inches thick
2 inches thick

Proper Use of the Square
Always work from one side of the square (never flip it over).Remember to either use the numbers from the outer edge or inner edge, but do not use both at one time.

Ridge Cut
Using the appropriate numbers on the square (ex. 4 and 12) place the square near the end of the board where the cut is to be made. See picture below.
