Pitch is the amount of angle or slope the roof has. It is not ideal for snow or heavy rain but modern materials and proper drainage have helped. A slanted shed roof can easily be built if one of the walls of the shed stands taller than the opposite one. Think of a flattened hip roof.

A 13 pieces of 2 4 lumber 144 long bottom rafters. This will give the framing square the angle you need to make the ridge cut. Above the top of the trusses. Complete the tie in by installing a pair of rafters.

So if the pitch of your roof is 7 12 place one stair gauge on the vertical part of the framing square the tongue at the 7 inches 18 cm mark and place one stair gauge on the horizontal part of the framing square the body at the 12 inches 30 cm mark.
