– ROOF FRAMING

Rafter calculator

Estimate a common-rafter length from the rise, run and overhang.

Your roof measurements

Measure from the ridge centre to the outside wall, then add the horizontal overhang.

How to use this estimate

Rafter length is a planning figure only. Structural member sizing, cuts and connections require project-specific design.
