  New Book For Finding Roofing Angles

This view is a sample page from the Roofing Angles book.

It shows the eave angles across the top, and the roof slope along the left column. As you'll note, the left hand column has two sets of roof slopes. Each one denotes the two roof slopes that are needed to determine this type of angle. An Eave angle is the angle at which the fascia is cornered. It is not the angle that the fascia is in relation to the roof. I.e., perpendicular, or plumb.

When looking up, from the ground, at the fascia, do the two roof planes meet square, or at some odd angle? If you go to the screen shot page, or look at the hip plan image, you'll see what I'm speaking about.
