Standard Slope Of Monoslope Roof

Roof slopes between 4 12 and 6 12 are best for minimizing the wind uplift effects in high wind zones.

Standard slope of monoslope roof.

Standard sizing calls for a 6 inch wide roof leg and a 4 inch drop leg with a 1 2 inch drip bend at the bottom. The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches. Pitches lower than 4 12 have a slight angle and they are defined as low slope roofs. Here s a sneak peek at this much sought after monoslope roof design.

Keep in mind that the higher the pitch the steeper the roof. One of the most requested designs in manufactured homes and tiny homes is a mono slope or single slope roof line. This new home design is coming soon to pratt homes in tyler and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what all the buzz is about. A roof slope of 7 12 is also good and can provide the additional benefit of helping minimize the effects of wind driven rain.

Lap mono slope sheds it s hard to be more modern than the mono slope shed paired with lap siding. I hem the 6 inch edge and the 1 2 inch drip bend to stiffen the flashing and minimize oil canning when it expands. I adjust the angle between the roof and drop legs to match the slope of the roof. Unlike standard flat roofs this roof has a steeper and more noticeable pitch and creates varying sizes of front wall heights.

Pitches above 9 12 are very highly angled and are designated steep slope roofs. For example a slope of 6 12 means for every 12 inches of horizontal distance the slope of the roof will rise 6 inches vertically.
