However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing.
Roof pitch for lean to.
Conventional roofs are the easiest to construct and you can walk on them safely.
Many roofing shingles do not allow applications onto roofs at this pitch.
You can also calculate roof pitch even without using a roof slope calculator.
Regular asphalt shingles that are rated for 4 in 12 roof slopes can be installed on lower slope roofs by simply installing a waterproof membrane under them.
Enter this measurement into the calculator and select a roof pitch and the length of the rafter will automatically returned along with the rise.
In other words if there is a 1 1 2 ridge board nailed into the wall and the width of the lean to is 96 then the run will be 94 1 2 96 1 1 2 94 1 2.
More commonly roll on membranes such that use heat to bond seams together is used as a roofing material.
A low pitched roof is anything that is any roof with a pitch of 3 12 or less.
They have a pitch ranging from 4 12 to 9 12.
