Cross Hipped Roof
Cross Hipped Roof
(OP)
Is it possible to design a cross hipped roof, without a post beneath the ridge and without using trusses? Collar ties work well at a portion of the roof, but I'm not sure how to make this connection at the valley where the two hips intersect.

It is a very simple structure but it requires good connections at the ends of the tension tie.
