California Valley Sleeper

I have California Valley Sleeper's, layover rafters, to install next week and I was trying to see what angles I would use to layout the bevel cut on the foot of the California Valley Sleeper. I've cut a couple hundred valley sleepers and never really thought much about the cut at the foot of the valley sleeper. Mark off the roof sheathing angle at the foot of the valley sleeper and set the saw blade bevel angle to the slope of the roof. After developing a couple of drawings, the correct bevel on the side of the valley sleeper material is the valley sleeper saw blade bevel angle. The compound miter cut on the foot of the valley sleeper results in 90° - Valley Sleeper Saw Blade Bevel Angle.

Also, this is the first time I've seen the call out on the structural roof framing plans for 2x beveled sleepers. Normally, it's just called out as a 2x sleeper.

Valley Sleeper Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 90° - (Main Hip Rafter Backing Angle + Adjacent Hip Rafter Backing Angle)

On this roof it's an equal pitched roof, 4:12.

Roof Eave Angle = 90.00000
SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle = 18.43495
S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle = 18.43495
DD = Main Plan Angle = 45.00000
D = Adjacent Plan Angle = 45.00000
R1 = Hip Rafter Slope Angle = 13.26268
C5m Main Hip Rafter Backing Angle = 12.92097
C5a Adjacent Hip Rafter Backing Angle = 12.92097
Valley Sleeper Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 90° - (C5m + C5a) = 64.15807
P2m = Main Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle = 43.49152
90° - P2m = Main Roof Sheathing Angle = 46.50848
P2a = Adjacent Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle = 43.49152
90° - P2a = Adjacent Roof Sheathing Angle = 46.50848







The California Valley Sleeper rotated into the hip rafter position is the same as the trèteau à devers hip rafter. Where the hip rafter is rotated into the roof surface of the roof.

Wire frame sketch of the roof the California Valley Sleeper is rotated into. The rafter slope angles are 90° - rafter slope angle when it's a valley rafter. The other rafter slope angle is the plan angle. 45.00° in this equal pitched roof. The plan angles are the level and miter angles for the equal pitched roof.

The foot of the trèteau à devers hip rafter is the same as the California Valley Sleeper. The head cut miter angle for the hip rafter is also the same as the California Valley Sleeper.

Layover Valley Rafter Basics

Before I get into the Hexenschnitt for the Layover Valley Rafter I needed to review the basic geometry that defines the layover valley rafter. I needed to make sure I could draw the layover valley rafter correctly in plan view (ground plan). Here's one method of a basic drawing using the layover valley rafter backing triangle to position the layover valley rafter material on the roof surface that defines the  layover valley rafter in plan view. The  layover valley rafter top bevel is easily defined by extending the  layover valley rafter backing triangle to the top of the  layover valley rafter. The other  layover valley rafter line in plan view is defined by the bottom edge of the  layover valley rafter material sitting on the  layover valley rafter backing triangle. (Roof Surface). The  layover valley rafter plan view lines at the intersection of the two roofs. I tried this method for drawing the  layover valley rafter, but this method seems to be slow of a process for determinin

Hip Rafter Edge Bevel and Backing Angle

In complex roof framing there are 7 main roof framing angles. Hip Rafter Backing Angle Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle Plain Titl (DP) Main Plan Angle Adjacent Plan Angle  Main Profile Rafter Slope Angle Adjacent Profile Rafter Slope Angle In this article I will discuss the hip rafter backing angle and the valley sleeper bevel angle. These two angles determine the miter angle and and saw blade bevel angles for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are plumb to the earth and for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are skewed from the eave line. A thorough knowledge of these two angles is critical in complex roof framing using geometry or trigonometry. The hip rafter edge bevel was avoided in the 12th century on some roof structures by rotating the hip rafter into the roof surface plane. However, by avoiding the hip rafter edge bevel, the carpenters-builders had to have a knowledge of the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle. They didn't call it the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle, but it's the same

Layover Valley Rafter Hexenschnitt #3

In the book Das neue Buch vom alten Wissen der Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing Geometry by Bernd Küppers I'm stuck on page 23. The geometry in the book, just doesn't return the correct miter angle for the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut (Hexenschnitt). I don't know if I'm drawing it incorrectly, or the BE (Bottom Edge Plane of the Layover Valley Rafter) should be drawn differently. Similar drawing at File: Kehlbohle mit Hexenschnitt.jpg There's 3 canted planes that define the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut Miter Angle. The main roof surface, the square tail fascia plane of the main roof and the the square tail fascia plane of the adjacent roof.  I think the problem with my geometric drawings is defining the intersection of the roof surface with the adjacent  square tail fascia plane.
