Roof Pitch Angle Chart

The roof pitch angle chart converts rises from 1/12 through 24/12 into degrees, slope factor, and rafter length per 12 inches of horizontal run. A 5/12 pitch equals 22.62 degrees, uses a 1.0833 slope factor, and produces a 13.000-inch rafter segment for each 12 inches of run.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print the roof pitch angle?

Yes. Use the Letter or A4 PDF links, or print the HTML table directly. The printable view removes navigation and keeps the title, table, source note, and brand.

Is the table available without JavaScript?

Yes. Every row is rendered as ordinary HTML with a caption and scoped headers. JavaScript is not required to read or quote the values.

Can I use the values as a final structural design?

No. Conversion charts are direct references, but span and member-size charts are planning examples. Current code tables, species, grade, loads, connections, and professional review govern structural work.

How often is the chart reviewed?

The review date is shown on the page and in the Dataset schema. Source-linked code tables are checked when their governing publication changes.
