That is the roof s rise.
Sloped roof to truss.
Conventional slope roof range between 4 in 12 and 8 in 12.
A king post then runs from the apex to the centre of the tie beam.
A flat roof has a slope of 2 in 12 or less.
It s often used for sheds garages or extension of an existing roof.
Pitch slope the pitch or slope is the incline of the roof expressed as a fraction describing the rise over the run.
Select an angle of slope away from a house into an area with good drainage and complementary to an existing house or other building.
A mono truss roof allows for more sunlight and visual space proper drainage and relatively cheaper.
A low slope roof is anywhere from 2 in 12 to 4 in 12.
A mono truss is a one sloped truss that forms a right angle triangle.
Roof truss designs king truss.
Roof slope style.
The run always remains constant at 12 inches.
The run or the base number is 12 inches.
This is the most traditional classic design of roof truss and probably the one that first springs to mind when timber trusses are mentioned.
There are two main categories of roofing.
Use prefabricated mono trusses for the easiest and best framing on a single slope roof.
The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches.
The maths behind this number is that it is the square root of rise run 2 1.
Measure the outline of the structure to be roofed with a tape measure or get dimensions from a house plan.
