Slant Roof Framing

Slant roof framing.

If you want to make a slanted shed roof then you will need to frame the roof properly so that it is completely supported one method of achieving the slant in your roof is to have one of the walls higher than the other.

The coating material for a slanted shed roof can be varied. If both walls are the same height you can either raise one by adding plates to it or you can build a frame for the wall separately and then install this on top of the wall.

Each item has a feature as well as the slanted roof angle. The rise or height of the roof at its peak is the altitude of the triangle.
