The gable calculator tool helps you quickly find the materials you need to build your gable roof.
How to Use This Gable Calculator
Use this calculator to determine the total area and material cost of constructing a gable roof. Enter the width and length of the roof in meters, the slope of the roof in degrees, the overhang length in meters, and the material cost per square meter in currency.
Calculation Explanation
The calculator first adjusts the roof width based on the provided overhang. It then computes the actual roof area considering the slope of the roof. Using this roof area, it calculates the total material cost by multiplying the area by the given cost per square meter.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a simple rectangular gable roof without openings. Additional factors such as structural design, local building codes, and actual material waste are not considered. It is advised to consult a professional for detailed project planning.
