  2. Roof pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_pitch

    Roof pitch. Roof pitch is the steepness of a roof expressed as a ratio of inch (es) rise per horizontal foot (or their metric equivalent), or as the angle in degrees its surface deviates from the horizontal. A flat roof has a pitch of zero in either instance; all other roofs are pitched. A roof that rises 3 inches per foot, for example, would ...

  3. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper degree of "tilt".

  4. Gambrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambrel

    Gambrel. A gambrel or gambrel roof is a usually symmetrical two-sided roof with two slopes on each side. The upper slope is positioned at a shallow angle, while the lower slope is steep. This design provides the advantages of a sloped roof while maximizing headroom inside the building's upper level and shortening what would otherwise be a tall ...

    Butterfly roof (V-roof, [8] London roof [9]): A V-shaped roof resembling an open book. A kink separates the roof into two parts running towards each other at an obtuse angle. Karahafu: A type of gable found in some traditional Japanese buildings. Hidden roof: A type of Japanese roof construction. Hip, hipped: A hipped roof is sloped in two ...

  6. Mansard roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansard_roof

    Mansard roof. A mansard or mansard roof (also called French roof or curb roof) is a multi-sided gambrel -style hip roof characterised by two slopes on each of its sides, with the lower slope at a steeper angle than the upper, and often punctured by dormer windows. [1][2][3] The steep roofline and windows allow for additional floors of habitable ...

  7. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity 's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator, tilt sensor, tilt meter, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator.

  8. Gable roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gable_roof

    The gable roof [2] is so common because of the simple design of the roof timbers and the rectangular shape of the roof sections. This avoids details which require a great deal of work or cost and which are prone to damage. If the pitch or the rafter lengths of the two roof sections are different, it is described as an 'asymmetrical gable roof'.

  9. Hip roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_roof

    Hip roof. A hip roof, hip-roof[1] or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downward to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope, with variants including tented roofs and others. [2] Thus, a hipped roof has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof. A square hip roof is shaped like a pyramid.
