Hip framing for barrel roof
Hip framing for barrel roof
(OP)
I am designing a timber frame structure with Glulam trusses (100ft span, 20ft o.c.), glulam purlins and 2x rafters. The architects have now added hips at each end of of the roof. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to frame the hips?

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

I'd still like to know if the framing is exposed underneath.

You might consider stick framing the hips with large LVLs or glulams.

Is it possible to attach a framing plan? We might (or might not) have some useful suggestions.
