That makes the roof s span 40 feet.
Roof ends measures.
A combination of a gable and a hip roof pitched roof without changes to the walls with the hipped part at the top and the gable section.
A a roof with a 6 rise for every 12 run has a 6 per foot or 6 in 12 pitch.
So use a tape measure to find the height of the roof above the top wall of the building.
Calculate the roof pitch.
The roof area for a hip end is the same as for a gable end the intersection is equivalent to a hip slightly conservative so there is usually no need to consider triangles when measuring a roof.
Figure 10 40 and reduce that to 1 4.
This is a way of measuring the degree of steepness of the roof.
Roof pitch or slope is a measure of vertical rise to horizontal run expressed in inches per foot.
The roof area is simply 114x18x2 plus 30x18x2 giving 5184 square feet which is perfectly adequate for estimating materials.
Say your house is 38 feet wide and the gable roof has a 1 foot overhang on each side.

This helps ensure a solid fit for the replacement ends.
It is a waterproofing layer made of regular felt stacked above the solid.
Although there is no single standard roof pitch used on all sloped roofs factors such as roofing materials and local climate help to determine the appropriate range of pitches for a given building.
A horizontal timber or metal resting at the peak of the roof the rafters and trusses are connected to the ridge board for a cohesive framework.
A composite decking made of solid materials it resembles real wood and particularly strong and stable for bearing heavy load.
The pitch of the roof is a ratio.
From a ladder or other accessible area giving safe access to the sloping gable end trim or roof edges 1.
When measuring extend the tape measure a few inches over the good wood.
Measure out horizontally 12 one foot from the gable end sloping trim to a point along horizontal siding or use your level to make a mark that is level horizontally measured out 12 from the sloped gable trim or roof edge.
From the eaves to the peak it s 10 feet high that s the rise.
If your roof measures 48 feet 15 m x 24 feet 7 3 m multiplying its length by its width would give you a square footage of 1 152 square feet 107 0 m 2.
The number of inches that the roof rises vertically for every foot of roof.
A gable roof with its end parapet walls below extended slightly upwards and shaped to resemble steps.
If its pitch is 6 in 12 a pitch multiplier of 1 12 multiplying 1 152 sq ft 107 0 m 2 by 1 12 would give you an overall square footage of 1 290 square feet 120 m 2.
Pitch is thus the ratio of the rise in inches to a 12 inch run and is often expressed using a semicolon for example 6 12.
