Roofing Linear Meter

In the attic place the level against a rafter with the 12 inch mark on the bottom of the rafter.

Roofing linear meter.

A roof s pitch is determined by how much it rises for every foot it runs. The rise is the distance from the top of a stud wall to the peak of the roof. Dividing the total area of your roof by 100 will therefore help you figure out how many squares worth of shingles to order. Measure from the end of the level up to the bottom edge of the rafter.

Roofing materials are typically packaged in squares each of which is the equivalent of 100 square feet 9 3 m 2 of roof space. Home about metal roofing trim accesories other products contact. Measure the length and width of each portion of the roof multiply length by width for each plane and then add the planes together for the total square footage. Linear meters measures length.

The overall length for this roof is 26 feet so for the 2 foot wide material divide 266 5 linear feet by 26 feet and the result is 10 25 pieces or 11 pieces of metal roofing 2 foot wide by 26 feet long. It is often compared to slope but is not exactly the same. Pitch measurement method 3. And if you know the total area to cover you can calculate the length of material at a given width to fit the area.

Roof slope style. Roof pitch is the measurement of a roof s vertical rise divided by its horizontal run. While in the 3 foot wide material we only need 177 feet and 8 inches of linear material. For example if the length is 21 feet and the width is 10 feet the surface area is 210 square feet 21.

Multiply the length of the roof by the width to establish the surface area in square feet. All metric inputs in millimetres unless otherwise noted. Thus a moderate 6 in 12 roof pitch means the roof rises 6 inches for every 12 horizontal inches it runs. If your material comes in set widths you can calculate the area a given total length of this material will cover.

If you have a simple gable roof you ll only need to measure and sum up the 2 planes of the roof. For instance a 7 12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 7 inches. A 12 in 12 pitch is a steep 45 degree angle roof. This distance is the roof s rise.

That is the roof s rise. Linear ft of panels in your order 12 inch 18 inch 24 inch 50 270 180 135 100 540 360 270 200 1080 720 540. Find the square footage of the roof.
