Sloped Roof To Truss

The maths behind this number is that it is the square root of rise run 2 1.

Sloped roof to truss.

This is the most traditional classic design of roof truss and probably the one that first springs to mind when timber trusses are mentioned. A low slope roof is anywhere from 2 in 12 to 4 in 12. A roof pitch multiplier also known as a roof pitch factor is a number that when multiplied by the area covered by a sloped roof gives the actual area of the roof. The run or the base number is 12 inches.

The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches. Conventional slope roof range between 4 in 12 and 8 in 12. Pitch slope the pitch or slope is the incline of the roof expressed as a fraction describing the rise over the run. There are two main categories of roofing.

A mono truss is a one sloped truss that forms a right angle triangle. A flat roof has a slope of 2 in 12 or less. A mono truss roof allows for more sunlight and visual space proper drainage and relatively cheaper. The run always remains constant at 12 inches.

That is the roof s rise. Roof slope style. Select an angle of slope away from a house into an area with good drainage and complementary to an existing house or other building. For example a slope of 6 12 means for every 12 inches of horizontal distance the slope of the roof will rise 6 inches vertically.

Measure the outline of the structure to be roofed with a tape measure or get dimensions from a house plan. It s often used for sheds garages or extension of an existing roof. It consists of a triangle formed from a tie beam at the base and two sloping rafters joined at the top.
