A hinged roof differs from a conventional roof in that its trusses/framing and sheathing has been built with a hinge. This allows the roof to be partially or completely lowered for transportation. Hinged roofs are most commonly found on multi-wide homes. Once the home is placed on the site and the hinge is opened it, becomes difficult to detect without close inspection of the trusses. Two good indications that a roof is hinged are the sidewalls and the roof pitch. If the sidewalls are 8’ tall and the roof pitch is 4/12 or 5/12 (similar to conventional frame built homes) there is a good chance that the roof is hinged.
Note: This option is only available for mobile-manufactured housing (MMH).
