One Side Slope Roof Elevation

Sometimes the shorter slope is less pitched than the longer side.

One side slope roof elevation.

A roof slope of 7 12 is also good and can provide the additional benefit of helping minimize the effects of wind driven rain. A roof with one slope historically attached to a taller wall. For some houses this will be the center of the house for other roof styles it may not be the center. Mono pitched roofs pitched here means a roof plane rather than a slope and implies it is not a flat roof mono pitched roof shed skillion lean to roof 2.

However from the wind uplift mitigation perspective a 7 12 roof slope can be considered as a two story building due to the higher overall steepness and profile of the roof. The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7. This measurement is best done on a bare roof because curled up roofing shingles will impair your measurement. We ll call this distance to peak.

Measure the horizontal distance from one of the side walls of the house in this elevation view to where the peak of the roof will be. If this isn t practical then perform the same measurement on the underside of. It has the upper ridge at the peak 2 slopes on each side and the added characteristic of one side s slope being noticeably longer. Then calculate distance to peak x roof slope where roof slope is the rise run.
