Standing Seam Hip, Formed in Place

 Here we show the formation of a hip on a standing seamed roof, in place.  The material is 16 oz. cold rolled copper, but this operation can be done in any sheet metal material.  The seams and here the hips are double locked, meaning that they are folded over twice, for greater stability.  This one story guest house has gutters built into the eaves, so the standing seam roof attaches directly onto the gutter,which is itself flatseamed with soldered joints. 


Showing the bright copper of the roof, newly installed.


Folding the seams.  Note the unformed hip seam.


Here the roof panels are installed.  Note the clamps in place down the hip, holding the seams in position.


Here the hip seam can be seen completed.


The transition from standing seam roof to flatseam gutter.


The same transition, shown from above.  The hip seam itself is complete, except for soldering of the vertical seams to the hip.
