∙ 14y agoA 12/12 is 45 degrees. If you set a 45 degree piece of wood on the roof it should be level.
A roof that is 10 x 20 has an area of 200 square feet. The cost to have this size roof shingled is approximately 1,800.00.
We would have to know the wall height and how far from the exterior wall the point in your ceiling is. Example - you have a 8' wall and you want to know the ceiling height at the middle of the room 10' in from the exterior wall. So you would have 96" +(10 x 10) = 196" or 16 feet 4".
Some people can, but most can not. It would be best not to try walking it without roof brackets and planking.
The quick and easy way is to purchase a speed square ($8). It has pitch and angles on it. Next a bit more of an investment is to purchase a Construction Master calculator($100). This is an invaluable tool for the building trade.Other than that you will need to use a trigonometric function. This will require a tangent table that can be found in a Trigonometry book or on a scientific calculator.IE. If you have an angle of 18.5 you will need to know the tangent of that angle. First you will need to understand how degrees are represented in the chart. If you look at the Trigonometric functions table you will find that the degree's are represented inn°n'. in this format for example 18d30' means 18 degrees and 30 minuets which is a term used for fractions of a degree. As on a clock the minuets represent 60 units so you will need to convert the decimal value to minuets. So 60(for our minuets value)/ (divided by)1 (for our decimal value) X.5 (our fractions of a degree)=30' now we have 18°30'The pitch is represented as 12 units of run (horizontal) and n units of rise (vertical) to solve for n the formula would be the tangent of the measured angle times the run (12) = the rise. Therefore the tangent of 18°30' is .3346 times the run 12 = 4.0152 or 4/12 (4 in 12) pitch. For each 12" out you go 4" up.Converting a roof pitch to roof angle:IE. a 4 in 12 pitch. Formula will be the opposite over the adjacent = the tangent of the angle you are looking for. In this case 4 is the opposite and the 12 is the adjacent. therefore we have 4/12 or 4 divided by 12 that = .33333 looking at the tangent of this fraction we will find it falls between .3314 and .3346 the angle for .3314 is 18d20'00" and .3346 is 18d30'00". you have to be looking at the Nat. tangent table to understand this part. There is more, in this format 18d20'00" means 18 degrees and 20 minuets 0 seconds which is a term used for fractions of a degree. As on a clock the minuets and seconds represent 60 units each so it will need to be converted to decimal value. So 1 (for our decimal value) / (divided by) 60(for our minuets value)X20(number of minetus)=.3333 or .3333° and 1/60X30=.5 or .5° so the angle for a 4 in 12 pitch is between 18.3333° and 18.5°.Now a bit more to narrow it down. our tangent for a 4/12 was .3333 falling between .3314 and .3346 the difference between the 2 choices is 32 units. the difference between the 2 angles is 10'(minetus) so for each unit of difference you have 10 divided by 32 = .3125' (minutes per unit) now from .3314 to our tangent of .3333 you have 19 units thus 19x.3125'=5.93' now you need to add this to the first angle of 18d20'00" for a total of 18d 25.93' so converting the minutes to decimal 1/60x25.93=.4321 for a total of 18.4321°. The construction Master gives the answer of 18.43 in about 6 seconds, the speed square about 3 seconds.Concluding: if a Construction Master is not in the budget buy a speed square.Short list of angles/pitch4.76°=1/129.46°=2/1214.04°=3/1218.43°=4/1222.62°=5/1226.57°=6/1230.26°=7/1233.69°=8/1236.87°=9/1239.81°=10/1242.51°=11/1245°=12/12
In regards to roofs. "Pitch" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over the total span of a building. "Slope" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over "half" the total span of a building. A building 40 feet wide with a total roof rise of 10 feet (from the top of the supporting walls) has a pitch of 10/40 reduced to 1:4 A building of the same dimensions will have a slope of 1:2 or 6/12 on the imperial framing square.
Rise represents the change in y-values on a graph, e.g. if the rise is equal to 10, the y-value changes by 10. Run represents the change in x-values on a graph, e.g. if the run is equal to 5, the x-value changes by 5. knowing both the rise and the run is necessary to calculate the gradient, or slope of a graph - this is done by dividing the rise by the run, in this case it would be equal to 10/5 = 2
A 12/12 is 45 degrees. If you set a 45 degree piece of wood on the roof it should be level.
Slope = rise/run. Rise = 13-3 = 10. Run = 5-1=4. 10/4 = 2.5
By taking the square footage and the actual pitch of the roof and using a chart that will give you a 10 year frequency (average rain fall) per hr. Also a major factor is if the roof surface is for weather protection only or promenade
My roofer asked me what the slope of the roof was. It was an 8,12. That meant that the rise was 8 inches for 12 inches of run. A steeper roof would have more area and a flat roof would have less.At the corner I have to cut a 45 degree angle to make it match. That is a slope when turned flat of 1 over 1.The ramps in the USA have to be flatter than a slope of 1 over 10 and recommended to 1 over 12.
we add the 20 degrees to the 30digrees so it is 50
6 to 12,000 dollars depending on the work involved. Materials for a complete roof replacement run about 6,000 alone.
Slope is equal to rise over run. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 10 feet is actually 120 inches. Therefore, the slope is equal to 1/120.
Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. A flat roof on the otherhand, is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. If you have a flat roof, there is probably a leak in it or there will be a need for a flat roof repairs in the future.
Stairs can be whatever you want them to be. It is usually a function of the room you have to work with and the elevation you are trying to bridge. 7 inch rise and 10 inch tread is very common.
