I wish to build a single story rectangular building with a long eave overhang plus a hip and valley roof. This will be a primer before building a house using the same design on a bigger scale. I have read a number of timber framing books and searched the net, but have not found a frame design that covers frames suitable for hip and valley. Can anyone help provide info on an optimal frame design? Even very basic practicalities such as where to position the posts is appreciated. A little about the structure:
Outer building dimensions not including eaves: 3.5m x 2.5m
Eave overhang on every side: 1m
Roof pitch: 17 degrees or greater
Roof weight: 70kg/sqm (clay tile)
Location: Thailand (warm-hot year round)
