Thanks. Somebody up for checking my math? http://www.csgnetwork.com/righttricalc.html Says that with the roof being 8' long, and 4' from outside to center, the roof angle is 60 degrees from horizontal = 30 degrees from vertical.
http://www.sbebuilders.com/hoppers/ says "hopper slope angle is measured from a horizontal plane" http://www.sbebuilders.com/cgi-bin/geometry/hopper_table.cgi?Spring_Angle=60 Asks for a hopper slope angle or roof angle, so going from horizontal plane, its 60 degrees. With a wall angle of 90 degrees, this table says: Miter angle: 26.56505 Bevel angle: 37.76124 So I set my jigsaw to 26.6 degrees? Or 37.8? I don't think any of this gives me the angle for mitering between the wall and the roof? But that one's easier. Roof is 60 degrees from vertical + 90 degrees from wall = 150 degrees, split that between the two sides = 75 degrees from parallel to the surface of the board each = 15 degrees from perpendicular to board for my bevel angle? What are my chances of getting this right? Rendering of this thing, with a queen size mattress and a foot locker: http://www.chaosreigns.com/burningman/h8yurt1.jpg.html (Done with blender.) Just got confirmation that I have space on a truck (from Boston) today. Woo, panic :) Incidentally: Roof = 6.9' tall, walls = 4' tall, for a total of 10.9' tall. So I should anchor it well.
