Pitch to Degrees Calculator

What is a Pitch to Degrees Calculator?

A “Pitch to Degrees Calculator” is a tool used to convert roof pitch, typically expressed as a ratio (e.g., 6/12), into degrees.

Roof pitch in degrees is useful for construction, roofing, and design purposes.

Why use a Pitch to Degrees Calculator?

Using this calculator is important for several reasons:

• Material selection: Roofing materials often have recommendations based on roof pitch in degrees.
• Design and aesthetics: Roof pitch in degrees affects the appearance and design of a building.
• Safety and drainage: Roof pitch is crucial for proper water runoff and drainage on a roof.

How to use a Pitch to Degrees Calculator:

1. Input the roof pitch as a ratio (e.g., 6/12 for a 6:12 pitch).
2. Click the "Convert" button.
3. The calculator estimates the roof pitch in degrees.

Example calculation:

If you input a roof pitch ratio of 6/12, the calculator will estimate that the roof pitch is approximately 26.57 degrees.

This means the roof has a slope of 6 inches of rise for every 12 inches of run.

Please note that pitch ratios are commonly used in construction, and converting them to degrees can help in material selection and design.
