A framing square is traditionally used for laying out the roof and determining pitch.

12 ft pitch roof framing with no overhang.

Each truss bears the truss plate institute tpi stamp for quality assurance. Pitch is the amount of angle or slope the roof has. The vertical rise of the top chord per 12 horizontal inches is the roof pitch or slope. Roof trusses 16 inch o c.

Wall studs 16 inch o c. Calculate the length of a rafter from the roof slope ratio of inches per foot and a building width measurement. The lumber components are precision cut and assembled together with galvanized steel truss plates in a factory controlled environment. Trusses are professionally designed with state of the art computer programs.

3 inches 10 3 if designing for a live load of 40 lbs ft 2. Fix stair gauges on the framing square to mark the pitch. Our roof rafter calculator tools are handy for calculating the number of rafters needed rafter length calculator lineal feet of rafter board feed in ridge and sub facia and the total board feet in the roof. Truss capacity is.

Visit the roof framing page for more information on cutting roof rafters and visit the roof pitch calculator for determining rafter lengths based on rise and run. If you add an eaves overhang dimension then the amount the rafter sticks passed the wall will be added to the rafter length. Residential trusses save time and materials compared to conventional hand framing. Just enter the dimensions of the roof rise and run to get started.

Rise and run means that a 6 12 pitch roof has 6 of rise vertical for each foot of run horizontal. This is denoted two ways a 1 3 or 1 4 pitch in fractions and a 6 12 pitch in inches which means the roof rises 6 inches for each 12 inches of run. For example 4 12 pitch means 4 inches of rise in 12 inches of run. Use these two tables for roof rafters with a slope of 3 in 12 or less.

Includes result for hip valley factor slope factor and the roof slope in degrees.
