Pitch (X/12) vs Rise

Formel

## How to Calculate Roof Pitch ### Formula **Pitch = Rise / Run** (typically expressed as X:12) **Angle = arctan(Rise / Run)** in degrees **Pitch Factor = sqrt(1 + (Rise/Run)²)** Roof pitch is expressed as the number of inches of rise per 12 inches of horizontal run. For example, a 6/12 pitch rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run. The pitch factor is used to convert footprint area to actual roof area.

Lösungsbeispiel

A roof with 6 inches of rise per 12 inches of run (6/12 pitch).

  1. 01Pitch = 6/12
  2. 02Angle = arctan(6/12) = arctan(0.5) = 26.6 degrees
  3. 03Pitch factor = sqrt(1 + 0.5²) = sqrt(1.25) = 1.1180
  4. 04Slope = 0.5 × 100 = 50%

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

What is the most common roof pitch?

The most common residential roof pitches are 4/12 to 9/12. A 4/12 pitch is the minimum for asphalt shingles. A 6/12 pitch is considered standard.

What is the pitch factor used for?

Multiply the building footprint area by the pitch factor to get the actual roof surface area. For example, a 1,000 sq ft footprint with a 6/12 pitch: 1,000 × 1.118 = 1,118 sq ft of roof.

What roof pitch is walkable?

Pitches of 6/12 and below are generally considered walkable. From 7/12 to 10/12, roof jacks and harnesses are recommended. Above 10/12 requires specialized equipment.
