Porch Roof 1 12

1 12 roof pitch angle 4 76 degrees.
Porch roof 1 12. This is the number needed for the pitch calculation. When it comes to residential construction your roof is a visible part of the structure. Then measure from the spot created vertically to the roof. If a roof rises 1 in a length of 12 this is 1 12 roof pitch.
If this is a porch on a trailer use corrugated sheet material can be found at lowes. Comes in colors and an opaque color which would allow light into the area below. A steep slope roof is one whose slope is greater than 3 12. This panel requires a minimum slope of 1 2 12.
Steeper slopes are ideal for areas that have higher snow loads and will also prevent the possibility of ponding water on the roof. On this home the roof pitch is the same as that of the gables on the dormers. However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing. By matching the pitch of the gables we were still consistent with the roof.
While the home s primary roof is a more steeply pitched hip roof the porch roof does not need to be the same pitch. This number is typically between one and twelve inches unless the roof is extremely steep.
