Pole Barn Roof Pitch Calculator

The metal roof length calculator calculates the distance from peak to trim so add the length you want the roof metal to extend beyond the eave trim.

Pole barn roof pitch calculator.

As a reminder please don t forget to add height of rafter thickness of roofing material and ridge vent to the number that you ll get using our calculator. First find the slope by finding the tangent of the degrees eg. If you know the angle of the roof in degrees you can find the roof pitch by converting the angle in degrees to a slope then finding the rise by multiplying the slope by 12. To see how pitch impacts the look of a garage and changes cost click the design center button on our pole barn kits page.

We will explain to you how to determine the roof pitch step by step. You can also use this roof slope calculator to recalculate the roof pitch from degrees to percents. We recommend about 2. Roof pitch refers to the amount of rise a roof has compared to the horizontal measurement of the roof called the run.

Rise and run means that a 6 12 pitch roof has 6 of rise vertical for each foot of run horizontal.
