It shows the image of roof pitch ratios as well as the standard angles resulted.
Roof with 2 different pitch.
This measurement is best done on a bare roof because curled up roofing shingles will impair your measurement.
Intricate roofs have many parts that incorporate several of the basic roof designs such as a gable roof sitting atop a gambrel or variations of the gable valley roof design using one or a variety of different types of roof trusses also see our very detailed diagrams showing the different parts of a roof truss.
Managing a hip roof with two different pitches.
As an example please take a look at the 1 12 ratio image.
Whilst it may sound ridiculous today they are used quite a lot these days to make a home look a bit more unique than others on the market.
It would seem that lining up the fascias and cornices so you have equal overhangs on both pitches would be impossible since the rafters of the two roofs extend beyond the plate at different angles.
The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7.
To keep the porch roof framing as simple as possible we installed a structural ridge supported by posts at each end with the common rafters landing on top of the ridge.
So 9 5 8 12 is the secondary roof pitch.
The way to read it is like this.
Roof pitch ratio and angles.
Using a pitch measuring tool that i d made we also determined that the exact pitch of the shed roof was 3 1 2 in 12.
Lining up the fascia.
Blind valleys simplify framing.
The meaning of the ratio is easier to understand if you take a look at the picture above.
