Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. A flat roof on the otherhand, is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10°. If you have a flat roof, there is probably a leak in it or there will be a need for a flat roof repairs in the future.

When building a clear span pole barn is there an appreciable strength difference between a 3 in 12 pitch and a 4 in 12 pitch roof?
The steeper the pitch of any roof, the more resistance it has to developed live loads, such as snow or ice. The difference between a 3/12 and a 4/12 is not great, but the 4/12 is stronger. Another issue to consider is the roof's ability to shed water...3/12 is typically the shallowest pitch recommended for both metal and ashaltic type shingles. A 4/12 is a step better and is more likely to prevent failures during the life of the roof and will serve the roofing warrantee better.
What roof shapes require the simplest frame?
