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