These Screw-Down Rafter Hip Bars should be used when fitting to hip spars of Edwardian (4-sided) and Victorian (5-sided) conservatories. The exception to this is Victorian conservatories that have a front roof pitch equal to the side pitch, which can use the standard Screw-Down Rafter Main Bars. Note that on a roof using the Sunwood Rafter Hip Bars, the Plastic Spider Top Cap should be used in favour of the aluminium cast Sunwood Spider. This allows the profile of any hip and main bars to be cut from the Spider and the Spider sit properly on the ridge.
Retro-fitted to hip rafters of existing 5-40° pitched timber roofs, these Rafter Hip Bar and other Sunwood components can encase and seal problem leak areas while also breathing a new lease of life into the roof. Sunwood is equally effective on new instalations too, offering an attractive, low-maintenance, long-life capping solution.
