Roof To Wall Framing

If you know the slope x in 12 you want to use for your roof framing design you can use it along with the run r to determine the height of the ridge beam for example if the slope is 4 in 12 and the run is 12 feet the ridge beam height m will be 4 feet.

Roof to wall framing.

Determining the ridge beam height. Calculate the roof pitch. Here is an attempt though maybe not a very good one to make the roof flashing serve also as a through the wall flashing with a tile roof. So use a tape measure to find the height of the roof above the top wall of the building.

Framing materials are usually wood engineered wood or structural steel the alternative to framed construction is generally called mass wall construction where horizontal layers of stacked materials such as log building masonry rammed earth adobe etc. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle.

And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse.
