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.

Standard slope of monoslope roof.

One of the most requested designs in manufactured homes and tiny homes is a mono slope or single slope roof line. 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 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. Pitches of less than 2 12 are considered flat roofs even though they may be very slightly angled. The run or the base number is 12 inches.

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. Roof slopes between 4 12 and 6 12 are best for minimizing the wind uplift effects in high wind zones. The rise will be the elevation change over the 12 inches. I hem the 6 inch edge and the 1 2 inch drip bend to stiffen the flashing and minimize oil canning when it expands.

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. The most commonly used roof pitches fall in a range between 4 12 and 9 12.
