Standard Slope Of Monoslope Roof

Pitches lower than 4 12 have a slight angle and they are defined as low slope roofs.

Standard slope of monoslope roof. For example a slope of 6 12 means for every 12 inches of horizontal distance the slope of the roof will rise 6 inches vertically. I hem the 6 inch edge and the 1 2 inch drip bend to stiffen the flashing and minimize oil canning when it expands. Pitches above 9 12 are very highly angled and are designated steep slope roofs. The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches.

Here s a sneak peek at this much sought after monoslope roof design. One of the most requested designs in manufactured homes and tiny homes is a mono slope or single slope roof line. Pitches of less than 2 12 are considered flat roofs even though they may be very slightly angled. I adjust the angle between the roof and drop legs to match the slope of the roof.

Keep in mind that the higher the pitch the steeper the roof. Standard sizing calls for a 6 inch wide roof leg and a 4 inch drop leg with a 1 2 inch drip bend at the bottom. The most commonly used roof pitches fall in a range between 4 12 and 9 12. Roof slopes between 4 12 and 6 12 are best for minimizing the wind uplift effects in high wind zones.

This new home design is coming soon to pratt homes in tyler and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what all the buzz is about. Unlike standard flat roofs this roof has a steeper and more noticeable pitch and creates varying sizes of front wall heights.
