Slant Roof Framing

I wanted a simple roof.

Slant roof framing.

The metal roof installation will be shown in a future video. Once your walls are uneven you can build a slanted roof to fit. The framing of a basic gable roof is based on a right angle triangle and the various roof framing components fit the triangle. At the same time the folded roof may vary in the slant from eighteen degrees.

The rise or height of the roof at its peak is the altitude of the triangle. I decided on a slanted roof. If you want to make a slanted shed roof then you will need to frame the roof properly so that it is completely supported one method of achieving the slant in your roof is to have one of the walls higher than the other. And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse.

Each item has a feature as well as the slanted roof angle. Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. 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. However you can also frame the roof so that one side of the frame is bigger than the other sides giving the slant.

It must be clearly equals to thirty five degrees. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle. It s similar to a shed or lean to roof or a clerestory roof but has one visible difference. Slate metal tiles shingle and others.

The coating material for a slanted shed roof can be varied. I didn t want ridges or valleys which are a lot of work and can leak.
