2. Roof pitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_pitch

   Definitions vary on when a roof is considered pitched. In degrees, 10° (2 in 12 or 1 in 6) is considered by at least one reference a minimum. [5] In trigonometric expression, exact roof slope in degrees is given by the arctangent. For example: arctan(3 ⁄ 12) = 14.0°. Framing carpenters cut rafters on an angle to "pitch" a

   Bell-cast (sprocketed, flared): A roof with the shallow slope below the steeper slope at the eaves. Compare with bell roof. East Asian hip-and-gable roof; Mokoshi: A Japanese decorative pent roof; Pavilion roof : A low-pitched roof hipped equally on all sides and centered over a square or regular polygonal floor plan.

4. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

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

   But in practice the usual way to calculate slope is to measure the distance along the slope and the vertical rise, and calculate the horizontal run from that, in order to calculate the grade (100% × rise/run) or standard slope (rise/run). When the angle of inclination is small, using the slope length rather than the horizontal displacement (i ...

5. Domestic roof construction - Wikipedia

   Roofs are also designated as warm or cold roof depending on the way they are designed and built with regard to thermal building insulation and ventilation. The steepness or roof pitch of a sloped roof is determined primarily by the roof covering material and aesthetic design. Flat roofs actually slope up to approximately ten degrees to shed water.

6. Gambrel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambrel

   Gambrel roof A cross-sectional diagram of a mansard roof, which is a hipped gambrel roof 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.

7. Cricket (roofing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_(roofing)

   In some cases, a cricket can be used to transition from one roof area to another. On low-slope and flat roofs with parapet walls, crickets are commonly used to divert water to the drainage, against or perpendicular to the main roof slope. The pitch of a cricket is sometimes the same as the rest of the roof, but not always. For Steep-slope roofs ...
