Iko recommends that you install architectural shingles with the open valley method for the best roof performance. Blind valleys simplify framing. A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure. In traditional house framing also called stick framing a basic roof frame consists of opposing pairs of sloping rafters that meet at their top ends at a ridge board or ridge beam.

The top end of each rafter is cut at an angle so that it meets flush with one broadside of the ridge board and the ridge is sandwiched between the rafters. When deciding how to shingle a roof valley you will need to consider your materials the climate and the desired look of the roof. Using a pitch measuring tool that i d made we also determined that the exact pitch of the shed roof was 3 1 2 in 12. To keep the porch roof framing as simple as possible we installed a structural ridge supported by posts at each end with the common rafters landing on top of the ridge.
