Roof Pitch Gauge - Gabled

Measure roof pitch instantly using your phone's built-in sensors or camera — then calculate the materials and rafter dimensions you need for any roofing project.

◆ TWO WAYS TO MEASURE

• Tilt Sensor — Place your phone on the roof surface for a direct reading. A precision sensor filter (gyroscope + accelerometer fusion) delivers stable, accurate results.

• Camera Sight — Stand on the ground and aim at the roofline. On-screen guides help you align while sensors compute the angle automatically.

◆ BUILT-IN BUBBLE LEVEL

An animated circular spirit level with a color-coded stability indicator (amber → green → blue) helps you confirm your reading is locked and accurate.

◆ MATERIALS CALCULATOR

Enter your pitch and roof dimensions to get a complete materials list:

• Squares, bundles, and underlayment rolls

• Starter strip, ridge cap, and drip edge

• Nails and optional ice & water shield

• 9 roofing materials — 3-Tab Shingles, Architectural Shingles, Standing Seam Metal, Corrugated Metal, Wood Shakes, Clay Tile, Concrete Tile, Slate, and Roll Roofing

• Minimum pitch validation for each material type

◆ RAFTER CALCULATOR (Pro)

Compute everything you need for framing:

• Common rafter length, run, and rise

• Overhang tail length

• Plumb and seat cut angles

• Framing square reference marks

• Ridge height

• Hip/valley rafters with compound angles

◆ REFERENCE TABLES

• Pitch Table — 47 entries from 0.5:12 to 24:12 with degrees, slope %, multiplier, and hip/valley factor. Tap any row to use it in the calculator.

• Span Tables (Pro) — IRC R802.4 rafter spans for 2×4 through 2×12, SPF #2 and Douglas Fir #2, at 16" and 24" OC.

• Unit Converter — Feet & inches ↔ decimal feet/meters, degrees ↔ pitch, slope % ↔ pitch, sq ft ↔ roofing squares.
