A pole is generally used to measure the remaining height of the tree. The climber pulls up an extendable pole and uses it to reach to the top of the tree from the point at the upper end of the tape. If not vertical, the slope of the leaning pole is measured and the length of the pole is measured.

[2] These structures characteristically have shed roofs, also referred to as "skillions", or "outshots" and "catslides" when the shed's roof is a direct extension of a larger structure's.
Horizontal distance = cos (inclination) × slope distance. The help of an assistant or the use of a laser rangefinder can greatly speed this process. When using a laser rangefinder, as in measuring tree height, several points on the far edge of the crown can be explored to find the furthest point.
A single-pitched roof can be a smaller addition to an existing roof, known in some areas as a lean-to roof, and a "outshot", "catslide", or skillion roof in others. Some Saltbox homes were expanded by the addition of such a roof, often at a shallower pitch than the original roof. Single-pitched roofs are used beneath clerestory windows.
