Howdy Guys,
Hey, how would you guys go about framing a split pitch roof where the slope shallows out near the eaves?
I just built a small octagonal roof with a 20 pitch main slope and a 10 pitch slope near the eaveline. (I don’t know what you call this kind of roof or even if it has a specific name, other than pain in the butt…)
This one had a flat ceiling in it so it wasn’t too bad, but how about one with a cathedral ceiling inside?
It came out just fine, I was just wondering how you guys might do one.

Sawdaddy, I've framed a cathedral ceiling broken-back roof by running an LVL the width of the room, then hung all the rafters off the LVL with Simpson rafter hangers. We adjusted the dimensions of the LVL so it didn't drop through the finished ceiling. You could let it extend below the ceiling plane to make framing easier.

*Gull's wing, Witch's hatThis is complicated enough you should work it out on paper first. I've done it where the main rafters land on the top of wall with no overhang, then sister on the diff pitch rafters for the eave overhang
