I am putting up a pergola roof.
I am told that the minimum slope on the roof sheeting has to be 2 degrees.
The question is.....what does the drop work out to over a 3 meter distance, in millimeters??? |

Yuppo!
Tan(theta) = y/x
y = Tan(2degrees) * x
y = 0.03492 * 3000mm
y approx. 105mm
I miss school.... |

Just do it by eye.
If that doesn't work, hit it with a hammer. |

Anything can be fixed with a hammer, WD40 and duct tape. |

McGyver could make a bulldozer out of a hammer, duct tape and WD40, so you should be right building a pergola...LOL |
