GABLE OR HIP ROOF:
A gable roof and a hip roof of the same length and slope will have identical areas. |
Enter roof dimensions below for your roof
in feet, (or slope as inches rise per foot.)
- If you enter only L-1, W-1, & H-1, the result will be the area of
a single straight gable roof.
- If you enter all six values, the result will be the actual exposed area of both roofs.
You cannot enter values for Area 2 alone.
- The values calculated for roof 1 and roof 2 are independent. The total will not equal
their added values, as the calculator subtracts the hidden area from roof 1 at the intersection, and
displays only the actual exposed roof area for the total.
