Greenhouse Roof Pitch

In addition to many advantages when laying a metal tile the maximum angle of inclination is not standardized.

Greenhouse roof pitch.

When choosing a roofing it is necessary to take into account the slope of the slopes. A lean to greenhouse extending 6 from your house needs a minimum 8 of height with an additional 4 for each additional foot the greenhouse extends from the building wall. The standard pitch for a greenhouse roof is 6 by 12. In the write up it states the future greenhouse will have a simple shed style roof slanting to the south but with a much lower angle to allow for a knee wall which will push the ventilation wall further up.

We recommend a 4 12 roof pitch as a minimum. Minimum slope 15. A greenhouse roof needs to have enough slope to prevent leaks and dripping condensation. The graphic below helps flesh this out.

If you design your internal structure according to local codes however you will not have any difficulties. Metal the popularity of using this material for the roof of greenhouse photos confirm this is very high. According to the conventional rule of thumb this would require roof glazing to be about 60 degrees off the horizon 40 20 60. If you sketch that out on paper you ll see that a roof angle of 60 degrees requires a very tall north wall or an altered plan for the greenhouse.
