Most roof s have a pitch in the 4 12 to 9 12 range. What is the standard pitch for a roof. This means if a roof rises 4 in the length of 12 your roof pitch would be 4 12 or 18 43 degrees.

We included a roof pitch chart below the 7 12 example image and the calculator below that. Contemporary houses often have flat roofs which shouldn.
