Got a pic? When I think of one side of a gable, I'm thinking of a shed roof.

[Dennis J. Bonner]

it is a shed roof.. my question is to whether i can classify it as a hip on the mitigation form? this is a florida wind mitigation inspection specific question

Hi Dennis

Are you a contractor?

[Bruce M. Graham]

If you have one gable the house is rated as a gable. As the others have said "Do you have a pic"? are you MSFH trained?

Just to clarify:

If the gable width is more than 50% of the elevation width then it is classified as a gable. If it is less than 50% then it is classified as a hip. There used to be a training manual and updates to changes on the MSFH website, it appears that they are not there anymore. The list of approved inspectors is also gone.

Half gable?

Are you referring to a gambrel?

[Bruce M. Graham]

I think he may be referring to what has been called a clipped gable, Where they clip the ridge to form a small hip, which is classified as a gable

Isn't that a combination gambrel/shed?
Here is clipped gable

During my framing days that was referred to as a dutch hip. I agree that it would be classified as a gable.

[Dennis J. Bonner]

no, i was referring to a shed, or half gable. iv concluded it would be classified as other. thanks for the feedback, and yes i am a contractor and am msfh trained, i was just questioning my own judgement briefly, thanks!

We referred to it as a spanked gable.
