This tool will help you estimate the cost of building a shed roof based on your specific measurements and material preferences.
Shed Roof Cost Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate the cost of building a shed roof by entering the dimensions of the roof, the pitch (angle) of the roof, and the cost per square meter of materials.
How to Use
- Enter the length and width of the roof in meters.
- Enter the pitch (angle) of the roof in degrees.
- Enter the cost per square meter of the materials you will be using.
- Click “Calculate” to see the total cost.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculation takes into account the actual surface area of the roof, which depends on the pitch (angle) of the roof. It uses the trigonometric tangent function to determine the rise of the roof based on its pitch, then calculates the actual length of each side of the roof. The total roof area is then computed by multiplying this length by the width. Finally, the cost is determined by multiplying the total area by the cost per square meter of the material.
Limitations
This calculator is an estimation tool and should be used as a guide only. The actual cost may vary depending on various factors such as labor, waste, and local pricing. Always consult with a professional for accurate quotes and measurements.
