Roof Pitch 16 12

Conventional roofs are the easiest to construct and you can walk on them safely.

Roof pitch 16 12.

Most roof s have a pitch in the 4 12 to 9 12 range. These roofs have a pitch less than 4 12. This means if a roof rises 4 in the length of 12 your roof pitch would be 4 12 or 18 43 degrees. Divide the rise by the run the run is 12.

A roof pitch multiplier also called a roof pitch factor is a number that is multiplied by the area covered by a sloped roof to produce the area of the actual surface of the roof for roof slopes expressed as x in 12 rise in run the roof pitch multiplier is determined by finding the square root of rise run 1. On blue prints architects engineers usually display the pitch of a roof in the format shown on the image where number 4 represents a rise and number 12 represents a length. High pitched roofs often need extra fasteners and their pitch can be as high as 21 12. If this isn t practical then perform the same measurement on the underside of the roof.

You can also calculate roof pitch even without using a roof slope calculator. We included a roof pitch chart below the 7 12 example image and the calculator below that. A pitch over 9 12 is considered a steep slope roof between 2 12 and 4 12 is considered a low slope roof and less than 2 12 is considered a flat roof. The drawings were reviewed and approved by our builder and call for a 16 12 roof pitch.

They have a pitch ranging from 4 12 to 9 12. Now that we are into framing he says that he is not comfortable building a 16 12 roof because it is too dangerous and is asking us to change the pitch to a 14 12.
