What's The Difference Between

www.homebuildingandrepairs.com... Click on this link if you looking for more helpful videos and information about roof framing, building design and home repairs. This video will provide you with a simple explanation about ratios used by architects, building designers and construction workers that allow them to build a roof at a particular angle, using relatively simple math skills.

[@armandogonzalez376]

EXCELLENT video and explanation. I have been listening to these numbers for weeks and weeks and nobody explains these basic VERY important things. You made it so simple and clear. Now I am able to built a HIP Roof. Best regards.

Nice video. Do you know about what slope is still comfortable to walk on with lets say composition shingles?

[@homebuildingandrepairs3122]

4:12 or less is nice to walk on.

[@TheOLVERAS]

Muy bueno… gracias

[@lonnieclemens8028]

Another good video.

[@gregvancom]

I appreciate that

[@MrMac5150]

Good Video....

[@gregvancom]

There he is, for anyone who doesn't know or hasn't been following me over the years, Mr. Mac has left the most comments out of anyone hands-down and his support will always be sincerely appreciated. Thanks again for watching and make sure you post again sometime before the year is over to let me know you're still watching.

[@debasissamal9887]

What will be the minimum ratio (less than 2:12) we can design with safety factor if the horizontal distace is 140 feet wall to wall.

[@gregvancom]

I cannot provide you with structural engineering advice.

[@abigailarthur5369]

Love it

[@waltercastro2015]

Going to build for the first time my roof patio. This hip roof is the best instructional video. Hey i might as well get into roof business later on. Or build garage separate for my tools. I am glad channels are available compare back in the old days. Gotta go work for some company just to get the practice. Now you can make your mistakes at home and learn to perfection. Then if you are on a permit free state, just grab your truck and start selling and posting. Become self-employed.

[@gregvancom]

I learned by cutting and making mistakes at home.

[@jeffvanderveen2890]

Got it , thanks

[@roneast4162]

I have a 44ft horizontal house, I am wanting to put a upstairs room in the center, what pitch would i need?

[@gregvancom]

A four and 12 roof pitch is nice, but if you live in an area where it snows it might need to be steeper. I cannot provide you with the perfect roof pitch, but might suggest looking around your neighborhood or other homes to figure out what type of roof pitch might be desirable for your project.

[@iMmarkymark]

Your county building dept. will tell you what roof pitch you need.

[@filitimo8381]

Is there a difference in terms of strength between these pitches?

[@gregvancom]

This is a question I asked myself decades ago and was told that the roof pitch didn't matter much, and was all about the span.

[@jonathansmith20]

Nice really helped a lot❤❤

[@gregvancom]

Glad it helped!

You're welcome

[@hippo-potamus]

So for a 10ft wide building a 6:12 pitch only has a center height of 2.6ft? That is hardly any slope! Which pitch roof would have a central stud of 6ft for a 12ft building width?

[@mosesotieno4880]

How about if the span of the house is 30m. I still don't get the math kindly assist

[@kendrickrankskilumira6663]

My question is ,let's say u have reached at the site, the building is at wall plate level,from there!,how do u get to know that now the roof for this building will be 2/12 ,5/12 ,etc !?

[@iMmarkymark]

Your county building dept. will tell you what roof pitch you need.

[@adv.nileshnikole6379]

I have 26 ft horizontal house ..what ratio?

[@tonyv33ee]

Measure out 12 inches then Measure up to the roof. You will fimd out your pitch

[@sniperhood7243]

Why the 12” is fixed ,not more or less? Thanks

[@gregvancom]

It's an easy number to work with in feet, but since it's a ratio, you can use 4:12,8:24 or even 2:6 if that makes sense.

[@TVKING-ke3mn]

8 ft span 4 inch rise is that including the 2 x 6 total

[@gregvancom]

The angle will be either at the top or bottom of roof rafter.

[@agustinvasquez5698]

How about the 8 12 how much it has up

[@gregvancom]

You should be able to double the 4 and 12.

[@victorsalazar3473]

What is the pitch of 22 ft thank you

[@gregvancom]

It can be anywhere from 1 to 24 and 12 or a ratio of between 1:12 - 24:12

[@user-ud9sk9kg2y]

If building a rooft on concrete wall plate without birds mount

[@user-ud9sk9kg2y]

2x6 will have to drop at plum cut to the rige

[@bethanyanderson1745]

Good info.

[@gregvancom]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@ernieforrest7218]

The difference would be 2” of rise for 12” of run.

[@tyronehervey133]

What about a 30 foot roof?

[@gregvancom]

I need more details if you're asking a question.

What’s 3/12 u skipped that pitch

[@gregvancom]

The video was only meant to provide a few examples. Is there a reason why you need the 3:12 pitch?

[@mkadeshsimmons36]

@@gregvancom because I’m building one an need information

[@I-am-not-a-number]

Degrees are so much easier for the carpenter

[@gregvancom]

I think with the speed square you would be correct, but before the speed square, the framing square required units of measurements like these.

Clear as mud. I'm dizzy from watching the yellow bouncing ball.

[@gregvancom]

I had to put that bouncing ball in, because viewers were complaining that they couldn't see my mouse arrow, which probably means I should go a little slower or put a couple of Pac-Man characters in the videos to chase the yellow ball around.
