Roof pitch. 1  The slope of a roof usually expressed as a ratio of vertical rise to horizontal run, or in inches of rise per foot of run. 2  The slope of a roof, usually expressed as the angle of pitch in degrees or as a ratio of vertical rise to the horizontal run.
The rise is the measure on the vertical leg; the run is the 12 measurement on the horizontal leg. So if the vertical measurement is 6, the roof has a 6/12 pitch. Roof pitch relates to the slope and inclination angle of a roof in building construction. The primary purpose of a pitched roof is to redirect rainwater. In general, the pitch of the roof is proportional to the amount of precipitation. Houses in areas of low rainfall frequently have roofs of low pitch while those in areas of high rainfall and snow have steep roofs.
