Back one yes, but I cant tell with the front ones.
All four arrows look like gable type features from here.
Ground photos would be better, but they do look like gables. What was the total perimeter of the roof vs. the non hip features?
I’m calling the overhangs sticking out NON hip. Those along with the back gable total 17% of the perimeter. Total perimeter 297 LF; total non hip perimeter 53 LF.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks
I think I would still call those hip. Just because it overhangs more than normal doesnt disqualify it, as far as I know.
It’s not gable, and its not flat.
That looks correct to me. Even if the overhang was removed it is still a gable behind it.

if the wind were blowing from the gable, it would encounter the flat part and take the overhang if it blew hard enough. if it were a hip, it would be prevented by directing at least half of the wind over the top and allowing the downforce of the slope to help hold the roof on.
correct me if i’m wrong please, i haven’t built anything in fl for decades and change happens there quickly. most of the information i have from that era is outdated, but from what i have learned, the wind still acts the same.
Yes, you are correct. I am referring to the first picture of the hip roof, with the long overhang. Thats not a gable. Its a hip, with a long eave. So I think I would still call it a hip.. Although I am not sure about the implications of the wind with that design.
But she is combining both pics in the final perimeter number. Yes, you have a gable in the second pic, but I was talking about the first pic. Would you still call that “other”?
Both picks are of a gable or non hip feature.
AGREE 100%. Thank you!
