look at the side of a lean-to roof. you basically have a right angle triangle.
a vertical, horizontal and diagonal.
you will need a scientific calculator.
divide the vertical measurement by the horizontal then press, inv. tan. on the calculator and this will give the roof pitch in degrees.
the roof pitch is the angle created by the horizontal and diagonal.

following on from blister. draw a vertical pencil mark on the barge board on the gable end of a roof. using an adjustable bevel, set it to the mark. you can then transfer this angle to any decent chop saw and simply read off the saw bench guide, the degree of cut.
