Slant Roof Framing

At the same time the folded roof may vary in the slant from eighteen degrees.

Slant roof framing.

The metal roof installation will be shown in a future video. Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. It must be clearly equals to thirty five degrees. I wanted a simple roof.

Each item has a feature as well as the slanted roof angle. The rise or height of the roof at its peak is the altitude of the triangle. It has a greater slope. It s similar to a shed or lean to roof or a clerestory roof but has one visible difference.

If both walls are the same height you can either raise one by adding plates to it or you can build a frame for the wall separately and then install this on top of the wall. A slanted shed roof can easily be built if one of the walls of the shed stands taller than the opposite one. The framing of a basic gable roof is based on a right angle triangle and the various roof framing components fit the triangle. However you can also frame the roof so that one side of the frame is bigger than the other sides giving the slant.

Slate metal tiles shingle and others. Once your walls are uneven you can build a slanted roof to fit. I didn t want ridges or valleys which are a lot of work and can leak. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle.

And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse. I decided on a slanted roof.
