What is the minimum slope for a pitched roof?
1/4:12
The smallest pitch of a roof is 1/4:12, which translates to 1/4 inch rise to 12 inches of run. Such a small pitch can only work with built-up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing. Covered porches that are near trees or in areas with heavy rains should not be covered with a low-slope roof.
What tiles can I use on a 15 degree pitch roof?
Clay Interlocking Tiles: Clay interlocking tiles; such as; Sandtoft 20/20, allow for use at 15° and quick installation. Concrete Double Pantiles: Concrete Double Pantiles allow for use at 15° pitch, whilst still offering a pantile style on the roof.
How do you work out the pitch of a 15 degree roof?
How to Calculate Roof Pitch in Degrees
- First, you need to measure the run of your roof.
- Next, you need to figure out the rise.
- Now, divide the rise by the run.
- Then, divide 1 by your tangent.
- Finally, multiply this result by 180/π and you’ve calculated your roof pitch!

What is considered low pitch roof?
Low- slope roofs typically have a minimum slope of one-fourth inch vertical to twelve inch horizontal (¼:12 or 2 percent) depending on the roofing material. Roofs are considered low-slope roofs up to 3:12 pitch. Most built-up roof systems are comprised of three layers of felt and asphalt.
What degree pitch Should a roof be?
Conventional Pitch Roofs: Anything between 25 degrees and 47.5 degrees would be considered a conventional pitch truss. These are the easiest to construct and maintain. High Pitched Roofs: Over 47.5 degrees would be considered a high pitched roof. Higher pitched roofs often need specialist tiles and fitting methods.
