Match the roofing on the covered porch with the main roof. Determine the minimum slope of the roof based on the roofing material. The minimum pitch for shingles is 1:6, which is equivalent to 4 inches rise to 24 inches run. The minimum pitch for a standing seam metal roof is 1:4, or 3 inches rise to 12 inches run.
How Roof Pitch is Calculated. To accurately calculate the area of your roof, you must first determine its slope, or pitch. A roof's pitch is determined by how much it rises vertically for every foot it runs horizontally. Thus, a moderate â6 in 12â roof pitch means that the roof rises 6 inches vertically for every 12 horizontal inches it runs. A â12 in 12â pitch is a steep, 45-degree angle roof.
