Reverse Slope Arbor Roof

The gentle slope of a hip roof with its trapezoidal sides and pyramid like elegance is a graceful traditional design that pleases the eyes and can be constructed in a combination of various unique styles.

Reverse slope arbor roof. An example for a steep sloped roof is 8 12. Because he is on a small lifestyle block he has a tank for water so i was thinking of having the new deck roof slope the reverse so being at the high point at the end of the deck then sloping down into the top of his existing spouting so any water collected on the new roof would land up on his existing roof and into his tank. The slope of a roof or pitch is determined by how many inches the roof rises over 1 foot or 12 inches. Clear roofing panels i used the suntuf 26 x 8 panels.

If you are using shed roofs or gables for the roof you will need to consider the angle of the roof and ensure that the right angle is used for the pergola. To put it in perspective the angle of this slope would be around 30 degrees. Arbor roofing construction was built on high quality customer service and even higher quality work. With any luck this will eliminate the possibility of having to make any adjustments to the structure once it is finished.

We have built our company and our business processes to set you up for quick convenient and hassle free projects from the initial consultation to the finished product. The minimum pitch for a roof is 1 4 12 which translates to 1 4 inch rise to 12 inches of run. They also come in 12 lengths if you have a bigger roof to cover. This means that the rise of the slope goes up or down 8 inches for every 12 inches.

A gable roof is shaped like an upside down v and is sometimes referred to as a dual pitched saddle saddleback or peaked roof. I thought it was a great idea when i came up with it but looking at the finished pergola from the side it looks a little goofy. However you can only use this pitch with built up roofing or specialized synthetic roofing. I found three different methods for attaching the cloth that if the whole roof structure of the pergola has a slope would still work.

Consequently i designed the pergola with a reverse slope so that away from the house the ceiling gets taller the other side of the pergola is 5 inches taller so theres a reverse slope to the roof. The clear pergola roof still blocks some of the sun about 10 so the patio still feels cooler than the non covered area. I seriously cannot wait for a rain storm so we can sit under the roof and watch the rain drops dance on it.
