Framing sloped roof garage.

Concrete with a 4 000 psi mixture. Of base material laid down and compacted. A flat roof has a slope of 1 8 per foot to 2 12. This is denoted two ways a 1 3 or 1 4 pitch in fractions and a 6 12 pitch in inches which means the roof rises 6 inches for each 12 inches of run.

Wood garage door framing sheathing and wood siding need to be 6 in. A slanted shed roof can easily be built if one of the walls of the shed stands taller than the opposite one. This will give the framing square the angle you need to make the ridge cut. Once your walls are uneven you can build a slanted roof to fit.

Above the top of the trusses. Next measure for the ridge estimate the angle and cut it a little long. A framing square is traditionally used for laying out the roof and determining pitch. It is not ideal for snow or heavy rain but modern materials and proper drainage have helped.
