This tool calculates the length of your roof based on your input dimensions.
Roof Length Calculator
This Roof Length Calculator helps you determine the total length of the roof based on the width, height, pitch angle, overhang, and the number of sides.
How to Use It
- Enter the roof width (W) in meters.
- Enter the roof height (H) in meters.
- Enter the pitch angle (A) in degrees.
- Enter the overhang (O) in meters.
- Select the number of roof sides (2 for gable roof, 4 for hip roof).
- Click “Calculate”.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator first converts the pitch angle from degrees to radians. It then calculates the length of one side of the roof using the Pythagorean theorem. The overhang is then added to this length. Finally, the total roof length is obtained by multiplying this length by the number of roof sides.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a simple gable or hip roof structure and does not account for complex roof designs. Additionally, the input values must be realistic and within commonly expected ranges for accurate results.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate the length of a flat roof
Enter the width and pitch of the flat roof to get the total length needed for materials. This will help you estimate the cost accurately and avoid any shortage of supplies when working on your project.
Determine the length of a gable roof
Input the width, eve, ridge, and overhang dimensions of the gable roof. This calculator will provide you with the length of the gable roof, making it easier for you to plan and budget for your roofing needs.
Estimate the length of a hipped roof
Provide the measurements for the four roof slopes – top, bottom, eve, and ridge – to calculate the total length of a hipped roof. This way, you can ensure you have the correct amount of materials for your hipped roof project.
Calculate the length of a gambrel roof
Enter the dimensions for the lower, upper, eve, and ridge sections of a gambrel roof to determine the total length required. This calculator simplifies the process of estimating material costs for your gambrel roof construction or renovation.
Determine the length of a mansard roof
Input the measurements for the top, bottom, eve, and ridge parts of a mansard roof to find out the total length needed. This tool is essential for accurate planning and budgeting when working on a mansard roof project.
Estimate the length of a skillion roof
Provide the width, pitch, and overhang dimensions for a skillion roof to get the total length required. This calculation will help you avoid under or overestimating materials for your skillion roof construction or remodeling.
Calculate the length of a saltbox roof
Input the measurements for the high and low slopes of a saltbox roof to determine the total length needed. This calculator simplifies the estimating process, ensuring you have the right amount of materials for your saltbox roof project.
Determine the total length of a butterfly roof
Enter the dimensions for the two roof slopes of a butterfly roof to calculate the overall length required. This tool will assist you in accurately planning and budgeting for your butterfly roof design or renovation.
Estimate the length of a curved roof
Provide the radius and angle measurements for a curved roof to determine the total length of the roof’s curvature. This calculation is crucial for ensuring precise material estimates when working on a curved roof project.
Calculate the length of a sawtooth roof
Input the dimensions for the high and low slopes of a sawtooth roof to estimate the total length required. This calculator streamlines the process of determining material costs for your sawtooth roof construction or renovation.
