Cross-hipped roofs (or cross-hip) are some of the most popular variations of the standard hip roof design, which can be thought of as two hip roofs joined together at a right angle. These are most often laid over buildings in a T or L shape. Cross-hipped roofs come with two intersecting hip sections that run perpendicular to one another. The seam forms the cross-hipped roof, and the two sections meet at the end, forming a valley. These roofs are great for structures with a more complex layout than the usual rectangular or square and can withstand rain, snow, and high winds incredibly well, thanks to their aerodynamic profile. Like many hip roof types, cross-hipped roofs can accommodate a gutter system well. They were popular in the 19th century and later incorporated into Ranch-style homes in America. |
