The pitch of the roof in the Philippines refers to the angle, or the slope of the roof. Due to the fact that the Philippines is susceptible to weather events such as typhoons, a properly built roof is vital. A slope of 15 to 30 degrees is best for the climate in the Philippines.

Difference between flat roof and pitch roof?

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.

What is a pitching plate in roof construction?

Bearing wall carrying two sections of roof and want to put in a post and beam instead of the wall Wall is 12 ft long What size beam or glulam do you need?

too many variables here, mostly the size of the roof above it (steepness, weight of shingles, tile or slate? etc. You're best to overengineer it. A double thickness (3.5" X 12" or 16" wide) glulam will support a reasonably large roof above it, otherwise a simple double 2x12 would work for a 3/12 -6/12 pitch roof with light grade 30 year shingles.
