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.

What is a 5 12 pitch roof?
That is the Pitch or slope of the roof. It means that in one foot of horizontal measure you will have 5" of rise .
A roof rises 2.4 feet vertically and 12.3 feet horizontally What is the grade of the roof?
A 2/12 pitch x 12.3 ft would be 24.6 inches of rise. A 3/12 would be 36.9 inches of rise. 2.33 feet = 27 inches. So you are between a 2 and 3 pitch.
A roof rises 4.5 feet over a horizontal distance of 14.42 feet What is the slope of the roof?
The pitch would be 3.74 4.5 x 12 = 54" rise 54 / 14.42 = 3.74

How do you find roof pitch?
Roof pitch is measured in "rise over run". In other words, how many inches does the roof rise vertically in 12" of horizontal run. If a roof rises 4" in 12" of run, you have a 4/12 roof pitch.
How do you measure the pitch on a roof?
Roof pitch is measured in "rise over run". In other words, how many inches does the roof rise vertically in 12" of horizontal run. If a roof rises 4" in 12" of run, you have a 4/12 roof pitch.
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.
What is the right roof pitch for a dormer?
12 pitch ?Depends on what type of dormer you are talking about. If the dormer has a pitched roof, such as a "gable," it's framed with the same roof pitch as the original roof, so it blends in.A "shed," dormer on the other hand is usually had on homes with a roof pitch of at least 8 in 12 or steeper. This type of dormer needs a roof pitch shallower than that of the original. A general rule of thumb is to keep a shed dormer at least 4 in 12. (A shallower or steeper pitch will make the dormer look out of place).
What does a 1 on 2 pitch mean in terms of a roof?
In general, talking about roof pitch, I have never heard or read about this term being used. Roof pitch is measured when you start at the leading edge of a roof and measure towards the center of the house too 12 feet. Pitch is measured from a imaginary parallel level line at the 12 foot mark, how many feet high the roof is at 12 feet is the pitch of a roof. If your roof is at 4 feet high at the 12 foot mark then the phrase would be- a 4/12 pitch.
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.
How do you calculate a roof pitch of 6 degrees?
