How do you determine pitch of roof?
The pitch of a roof is measure in a simple way. Rise over run. By this it means that, given the standard example of a 4/12 roof ,for every 12 inches or one foot of distance or run there is an according rise of 4 inches in height. If you wish to determine this you need to know the length of the rafters and then the height from the center of the rafter to the peak of the roof. For instance if the rafters happen to be 24 feet long that means that the run is 12 ft and if the height from the bottom of the rafter to the peak is 8 feet then you have a 8/12 pitch roof.

Can a roof have a 8 by 12 pitch roof?
Yes, it can have any pitch, the pitch is the ratio of the number of units (usually inches) run (horizontal) to the number of units rise (vertical). The units of run is always 12 therefor if you measure over 12 inches then measure up at 90° that number represents the pitch. If you measure over 12 inches and measure up 8 you have an 8/12 pitch roof.

How is slope used in carpentry?
My roofer asked me what the slope of the roof was. It was an 8,12. That meant that the rise was 8 inches for 12 inches of run. A steeper roof would have more area and a flat roof would have less.At the corner I have to cut a 45 degree angle to make it match. That is a slope when turned flat of 1 over 1.The ramps in the USA have to be flatter than a slope of 1 over 10 and recommended to 1 over 12.

How do you messure pitch roof?
You can either buy a pitch guage - available at most home improvement retailer or measure manually. Pitch is guaged by the rise over a 12'' run. Therefore, an 8 pitch roof rises 8'' for every foot. Therefore, if you take a level and mark it at 12'', hold one end against the roof, hold it level, and then measure the distance between the level and the roof at the 12'' mark, you will get your pitch. An inexpensive guage is definitely the way to go, but there are your options.
