Standard Slope Of Monoslope Roof

The run or the base number is 12 inches.

Standard slope of monoslope roof.

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. 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. I hem the 6 inch edge and the 1 2 inch drip bend to stiffen the flashing and minimize oil canning when it expands.

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. Here s a sneak peek at this much sought after monoslope roof design. I adjust the angle between the roof and drop legs to match the slope of the roof. 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. 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. The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches. Pitches above 9 12 are very highly angled and are designated steep slope roofs.

A roof slope of 7 12 is also good and can provide the additional benefit of helping minimize the effects of wind driven rain. Keep in mind that the higher the pitch the steeper the roof.
