Roof rafter length tables.
Our roof rafter calculator tools are handy for calculating the number of rafters needed rafter length calculator lineal feet of rafter board feed in ridge and sub facia and the total board feet in the roof.
If you add an eaves overhang dimension then the amount the rafter sticks passed the wall will be added to the rafter length.
This is the rafter length from the top cut to the seat plumb mark.
Rise and run means that a 6 12 pitch roof has 6 of rise vertical for each foot of run horizontal.
The rise of the rafter.
Visit the roof framing page for more information on cutting roof rafters and visit the roof pitch calculator for determining rafter lengths based on rise and run.
Roof rafter span use this table to determine the maximum lengths of roof rafters based on species and grade of lumber spacing dimensions load and slope.
Rafter span tables use these tables to determine lengths sizes and spacing of rafters based on a variety of factors such as species load grade spacing and pitch.
Tail or eave length.
Calculate the length of a rafter from the roof slope ratio of inches per foot and a building width measurement.
Height of the scaffold.
Given here are the formulae to calculate the length of a shed roof rafter to make your roofings stronger and look beautiful.
The spans in this table are based on a maximum supported rafter span of 16 feet where the supported span is the total horizontal distance spanned by the roof rafters divided in half not the diagonal distance or the length of the rafter.
Use this table to determine the maximum lengths of floor joists based on species of lumber joist spacing and joist size.
So this table could accommodate a house with a total rafter span or house width of 32 feet.
The respective lengths for those two rafters and add them together.
18 12 roof slope rafter lengths.
Includes result for hip valley factor slope factor and the roof slope in degrees.
Enter the value for the roof width outside to outside in feet inches and fraction inches and fraction or use the inches box to enter a value in decimals if that is your preference.
The run of the rafter.
Using the 7 inch rise table and our 15 run the common rafter length is 17 43 8.
Steep roof rafter length calculation example 1.
On the framing square blade face using the common rafter length per foot run line in the table look along the blade under the inch number 18 we see 21 63.
The length of the rafter.
The tail or eave overhang must be added to the rafter length.
