Pitched roof
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pitched roof is a roof structure where the roof leans to one side of the house. It is also known as lean-to roof. The rafters are connected to the highest wall and then it is inclined to a lower wall, which then forms the pitched roof.
This method is not recommended practice for construction, it is better to go for traditional double-pitched roof.
The rafters are often connected into the wall individually or even supported on a wall plate bedded within the wall.
This type of roof can have no joist at all or have a tie or have a joist with a strut to give more strength.
