About Pitch and Slope

Roof pitch is typically expressed as a ratio like 6:12, meaning 6 inches of rise for every 12 inches of horizontal run. Slope percentage expresses the same relationship as a percentage, useful for grading and civil engineering applications.

Common Pitch Examples

  • • 4:12 pitch = 33.3% slope
  • • 6:12 pitch = 50% slope
  • • 8:12 pitch = 66.7% slope
  • • 12:12 pitch = 100% slope (45°)
