Support the roof of a lean to with sloped roof.

It is open to the varied elements from the sides and front. Roof pitch refers to the measurement of the slope of a roof and you express this as a ratio. Consider different roof designs when building a shed but understand that pitch is pitch whether you have a 3 12 gable roof or lean to roof the physics of moisture penetration won t change even though the style is different. The roof consists of two support poles that form a low end support for a sloped roof which is attached to the exterior of an existing structure.

This leans against an existing structure and is also dependent on this structure for support. A lean to roof also called a shed roof slopes in one direction with rafters that rest against another structure at their high end and overhang support posts or an exterior wall at their low end. A gable roof has the same pitch on each side as well as the same length. Although there s isn t any standard pitch of a roof used on all kinds of sloped roofs you can determine the range of pitches by using a roof angle calculator and by considering factors like the local climate and roofing materials.

Hence this roof is best for constructing in high rainfall and snowfall regions. I cut rafters out of 2x8s frame this pole barn lean to.
