Pitch of a roof that rises 6 and runs 10. 0 12. This measurement is best done on a bare roof because curled up roofing shingles will impair your measurement. Enter run the flat level length then click pitch angle or rise to select then enter other known dimension angle or pitch. 0 or 180 0.

Roof pitch is often expressed as a ratio between rise and run in the form of x 12. You can assess this in two ways either as the roof pitch angles which the rafters make with the horizontal or the proportion between the run and the rise of the roof. Roof slope expressed as rise run in inches. Common roof slopes expressed in rise run and angle slope expressed as grade.

4 76 8 33 grade. Easy to walk on. Roof pitch refers to the slope which the rafter creates. Roof pitch is used to describe the slope or angle of the roof.

3 12 1. For example a pitch 1 12 means that per every twelve yards of building length the rise will be equal to one yard. Roof slope expressed as an angle. Roof pitch or slope is a measure of vertical rise to horizontal run expressed in inches per foot.

The roof pitch is important in determining the appropriate installation method and how much roofing material will be needed. 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.
