Sometimes called a flat roof, a low sloped roof is not perfectly flat. Instead, the rafters (inclined members supporting the roof) are laid at a slight angle to encourage water to drain. Sheeting and roofing are applied to the top of the rafters. The ceiling material is applied to the underside of the rafters. Because a flat roof can be difficult waterproof, it is found most often in dry climates.

A hip roof slopes at the ends of the building as well as the two sides. The slope on all sides results in an even overhang all around the building and gives a low appearance. Because there is no siding above the overhang, maintenance needs are reduced. The hip roof is also a very strong roof and is often found in regions where severe storms are common. All of these factors make it a popular choice.

The Gable roof has two sloping sides that meet at the top to form a Gable at each end. A Gable is the triangular wall enclosed by the sloping ends of the roof. A Gable roofs may include dormers ( up right window projections) that adds light and ventilation to second floor rooms or the attic. The Gable roofs is the most common type of roof.

Studs are the vertical members that make up the walls of a building. They can be made of steel or wood. In residential construction they are either 2 x 6 or 2 x 4 Douglas fir number two or better. They are spaced every 16 inches on center so that the plywood doesn't have to be cut while being applied to them. When stud framing a 2 x 4 wall put two 16 penny nails into the top and bottom plate nailing them directly into the stud. This is the bare minimum. When stud framing a 2 x 6 wall put 3 16 penny nails into the bottom and top plates. This is also the bare minimum.

When choosing nails to use for framing projects, and that works for most building codes across the country. There are two common nails that are used. 16 D sinkers are standard for framing of walls and floors. These nails are 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches long. Eight D sinkers are 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches long. These nails are most commonly used for nailing shear, and subfloor plywood to the framing members. 10 D nails are sometimes used to replace eight penny nails when strong water rule forces are present in shear, mostly on roof sheeting and floor sheeting. But can sometimes be specified on wall sheeting as well.
