$Navarro & Man on Instagram: "🏡 Ever wondered why roofs have different slopes? 🤔 Let’s talk about ROOF PITCH! ⬆️⬇️ Roof pitch measures how steep a roof is, and it’s super important for design and functionality! 🏠💧 📏 To find the pitch, divide the vertical rise by the horizontal run. For new builds, estimate the vertical height and divide it by half of the horizontal width. Simple, right? 🧐 📐 Pitch is often expressed as a fraction based on 12s. For example, 6/12 means the roof rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run. Got it? 🤓 🌧️ One big reason for roof pitch is WATER DRAINAGE! High-pitched roofs quickly send rain or snowmelt away to prevent leaks. Anything under 3/12 is low pitch, while above 6/12 is high pitch. Which do you prefer? 🌦️ 🏠 Low pitch is great because it’s safe Different Roof Pitches, Roof Pitch Chart, High Pitch Roof Shed, 6/12 Roof Pitch, Roofing Materials Types Of, Pitch Roof, Roof Pitch, High Pitch, Shed Roof$

What is Roof Pitch? Roof pitch is the degree of slope to your roof, expressed as a ratio of rise over run - increase in vertical height per unit of length relative to the ground. For example, this diagram shows a 10/12 pitch: What's My Roof Pitch? Here's the easiest way to calculate your roof pitch: On both sides of your roof, measure down 36" along the trim from the peak and make a mark. Measure across the face of your gable, from mark to mark, and write down the value in inches.

Roof Pitch????

Cabin Forum/Blog: What is your opinion on roof pitches? I have a 20x32 with 12 walls and really am thinking of having a 8/12pitch roof and not the 12/12 a lot of people have. I think it will be a lot easier to frame and install roofing with a smaller pitch roof than a steeper one. Is there a benifit to having a steeper roof?
