The table below shows common roof pitches and the equivalent grade degrees and radians for each.
1 4 inch ft pitch furring strips flat roof pitch.
However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing.
In this example the section of roof is 20 feet wide and 14 feet from the fascia to the peak.
Next since the roof is basically two planes intersecting we are able to interpolate fill in.

So let s strike that first.
Furring strip board is perfect for a wide range of uses including carpentry hobbies shelving and general finish work.
This is the basis for calculating the angle which is approximately a 1 19 degree slope.
According to the international building code the typical built up flat roof that uses tar or asphalt goes by the guideline that for every foot 12 inches of a flat roof a minimum of inch must step up or down.
Flat roofs which aren t perfectly flat require a small slope to allow for water runoff.
For pricing and availability.
The minimum pitch for a roof is 1 4 12 which translates to 1 4 inch rise to 12 inches of run.
Every piece of 1 in.
This translates to seven rows of strips 20 feet long spaced two feet apart or 140 lineal feet of.
Most roof s have a pitch in the 4 12 to 9 12 range.

1 in x 4 in x 8 ft.
Wood harvested from certified sustainable forests.
Add to wish list.
Low pitched roofs are generally difficult to maintain and you need special materials to prevent leaks.
For basic interior or exterior structural applications.
A pitch over 9 12 is considered a steep slope roof between 2 12 and 4 12 is considered a low slope roof and less than 2 12 is considered a flat roof.
Treated firring used on flat roofs to create a slope for the rain to fall off.
Create a level surface for attaching wallboard and paneling.
Treated firring 47mm x 50mm to nothing 3 6m length.
0 75 in x 3 5 in x 8 ft.
These roofs have a pitch less than 4 12.
Generally such roofs have a pitch ranging from 1 2 12 to 2 12.
High quality strip for construction.
The rest of the roof needs the same minimum slope.
