ABSTRACT:
A prefabricated building structure includes a hip roof that is collapsible so that the building structure may be transported from a manufacturing site to an assembly site, such as a homesite, in compliance with governmental regulations related to height and width restrictions on public highways. The building structure with the hip roof offers an alternative to the conventional gabled roof used in prefabricated houses and other buildings. The prefabricated building structure includes modular units secured together to provide an integral building structure, at least two of the modular units each including a collapsible, complementary hip roof system. Each hip roof system includes a plurality of transversely disposed, longitudinally spaced trusses including front trusses and front hip trusses; a plurality of longitudinally disposed, transversely spaced gable trusses, the gable trusses being substantially perpendicular to the front hip trusses; and a connector for connecting the front hip trusses to the gable trusses. Selected ones of the front, front hip, and gable trusses and the connector are hinged for folding to reduce overall dimensions of the hip roof system. Also provided is a method for erecting the hip roof system at the home site and a method of making the hip roof system.
