The following table shows the roof pitch rise in run equivalents for all roof slopes in degrees from 1 to 72.
Roof pitch 22 5 degrees.
What roof angle in degrees.
How roof pitch manifests itself in various roof types.
However if you to do the process using your own knowledge you can still convert pitch to degrees by dividing the rise and run and get its corresponding measurement.
This means if a roof rises 4 in the length of 12 your roof pitch would be 4 12 or 18 43 degrees.
The table below shows common roof pitches and the equivalent grade degrees and radians for each.
On blue prints architects engineers usually display the pitch of a roof in the format shown on the image where number 4 represents a rise and number 12 represents a length.
If your house roof is built with multiple pitches then square per roof must be calculated differently.
As a rule of thumb most solar installers state that your latitude is the best angle to mount solar panels to achieve maximum effiency.
To see how pitch impacts the look of a garage and changes cost click the design center button on our pole barn kits page.
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.
Enter base length to calculate rise and diagonal for current pitch angle.

With the use of this converter it will be easier for you to locate a 30 degree roof pitch 20 degree roof pitch 25 degree roof pitch or a 15 degree roof pitch.
Select inches to enter decimal inches or millimeters for metric.
A 4 12 slope is enough to accommodate water runoff but is not suitable for regions that are affected by heavy snowfall.
So my latitude here in proserpine is 20 4 degrees close enough to the normal roof pitch of 22 5 that any loss of efficiency would be next to nothing.
This forms an angle of 18 5 between the horizontal section and the roof and creates a gentle incline that is seen as a midpoint between a low pitch and medium pitch roof.
For this you can take help from roof pitch factor chart.
Other than the 45 roof slope which is 12 in 12 none of the standard roof pitches 5 in 12 6 in 12 etc are equal to a whole degree.
