Patio Roof Pitch Calculator

This will allow your project to carry the depth and detail in the roof that you wanted as well as make sure that it will maintain a sturdy and effective nature throughout.

Patio roof pitch calculator.

Use the diagrams on this page as a reference when inputting rise and run and while interpreting the calculated results. The roof pitch calculator calculates slope pitch angle and rafter lengths based on input of rise m and run r. To accurately calculate the area of your roof you must first determine its slope or pitch. First find the slope by finding the tangent of the degrees eg.

A roof s pitch is determined by how much it rises vertically for every foot it runs horizontally. Thus a moderate 6 in 12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 6 inches vertically for every 12 horizontal inches it runs. Roof pitch refers to the amount of rise a roof has compared to the horizontal measurement of the roof called the run. If you know the angle of the roof in degrees you can find the roof pitch by converting the angle in degrees to a slope then finding the rise by multiplying the slope by 12.
