Roof

[heat checker]

Okay we are putting together our plans for our fish house that we are making and are wondering what we should have for a slope?? Not being the math and angle figuring type.. This is what we are wondering:

It will be a angled roof not a peak.. We are thinking a 75" run with a 6" rise.. Will this be enough slope for snow and stuff to melt off??

Thanks

I'm building a small skid house right now and had my friend put a 1-piece rubber roof on it.

He's a commercial roofer by trade and he said they slope theirs 1/4" for every 4 feet of run.

Mine's 4x8 and I went 1 1/2" over 4 feet and he said that was overkill.

According to him you'd only need a smidge over 3/8"-1/2".

So, yeah...6" is plenty.

But this is my first build so I have zero experience.

Just need enough for the water to run off. Far as snow goes you wont get the build up due to being out in the open.

If you tin the roof you just need a few inches. That metal will warm up when the sun comes out and the snow and ice will slide right off. Plus it wont rot.
