Here are different examples to calculate the installation of your DIY creative project.
1-sided roof
|
Width X Height = _______ ft²
then and add by adding (+): 1 foot more on the height AND 1 foot total for the width (6 inches on each side) of your measurements
|
Example: For a 12' X 4' panel, you will have to calculate 13' x 5' = 65 ft² |
2-sided roof
|
Width X Height = _______ ft² (for each side)
then and add by adding (+): 1 foot more on the height AND 1 foot total for the width (6 inches on each side) of your measurements X 2 (for each of the sides)
|
NOTE: 2-sided structures require linear ridge caps (accessories). Each linear ridge spans 3' linear (after overlap).
|
Example: For a 12' X 4' panel, you will have to calculate 13' x 5' = 65 ft² x 2 sections = 130 ft²
And, you will need to add 5 ridges
|
4-sided roof
|
For a slope of 6/12:
|
Width X Length X 1.7 = _______ ft²
* The total of this measurement includes the doubled border as well as the quantity necessary for the 4 corners.
|
For a 10/12 slope:
|
Width X Length X 1.9 = _______ ft²
* The total of this measurement includes the doubled border as well as the quantity necessary for the 4 corners.
|
NOTE: Structures with 4 sides of square shapes require 1 round cap. Rectangular 4-sided structures require one or more ridge cap(s). Each linear ridge spans 3' linear (after overlap) .
|
For a round structure (hexagon or octagon)
|
X-ray by itself X by 3.1416 X by slope ratio (1.7 or 1.9)
area of a circle = π × r a y o n ² ⇒ A = π r 2 ( π = 3.1416)
|
|
Example: Width 10' in diameter Radius = 5' (half the diameter)
Slope 6/12: 5' X 5' = 25' X 3.1416 = 78'54'' (area) X 1.7 = 133.52 ft2
Slope 10/12: 5' X 5' = 25' X 3.1416 = 78'54'' (area) X 1.9 = 149.23 ft2
|
NOTE: Round structures (octagonal or hexagonal) require 1 round hat. |
