Step 3) Calculate 'Roof Length' according to the table shown above.
Step 4) Measure 'Side Length' shown above
Step 5) Multiply 'Roof Length(step 3)' by 'Side Length(step 4)'
Example: Roof Degree: 30o Ground Length: 20ft Side Length: 30ft For 30o Roof, the Roof Length is 24ft(Ground Length 20ft X 1.2) Multiply 24ft(Roof Length) by 30ft(Side Length), which is 720sqft.
GENERAL INSTRUCTION *From the ground, facing the end of the house; measure the width * Choose approximate slope of your roof comparing it to the pictures * Find your slope below and multifply the width times the factor for your slope.
