What do you guys think about this one. Would it still be considered hip roof with the small flat sections in the middle ?
Hard to tell from the picture, but from here it looks like a combination of hip, gable and flat/low slope.

Ahh I didn’t even see the gables only looked at google earth. I haven’t been on site yet client just was concerned with the flat portions but I’m pretty sure as long as all the perimeter is hip those are not included.
The flat sections take away as well. You have to subtract any non-hip feature from the perimeter.
There’s no flat sections on the actual perimeter of the roof. It doesn’t matter at this point those gables together are nearly 56ft and the entire perimeter isn’t even 400 so they’re already over 10% with just the gables.

Just for future - the flat section doesn’t have to be on the perimeter to take away from hip.
This is a flat section that takes the hip credit away, but the actual perimeter is hip all around. (this came directly out of the Wind Mitigation course)
Seems pretty stupid considering the wind would deflect off the hip portions making the flat roof pretty irrelevant. But yes I understand.
Google maps can give a lot of info too.
Yep, I agree with ya! But it’s an insurance form, and we just have to follow the confusing rules… lol

The outside of all of those flat roofs count against the hip perimeter. That roof is ‘Other’.
Multi angled roof design.
Just my 2 cents.
