The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7.
One side slope roof elevation.
Then calculate distance to peak x roof slope where roof slope is the rise run.
We ll call this distance to peak.
This is intended to cover an additional portion to the width of the frame.
