Need help figuring out roof pitch...

[U_Stormcrow]

one wall is 9", one wall is 10"????
The 3/4 ft and 5/6ft have me confused as to what you are trying to say. I'm trying not to use limited high speed cell phone data to pull up plans and go digging thru them

So making a slanted roof run, like a shed. The whole dimension of the coop is 4x8. The slope will run the length of 8ft. one of the walls on one side will either be 3 to 4 ft the other wall on the other side will be 5 to 6ft.

Instead of the 5

its 8ft

The feet is above the bottom opening so picture a flat table with legs on it then framed out with each side being the mentioned feet. Yes, I'm trying to figure out the angle in which I need to cut the end of the rafter beams so they sit against the top 2x4

This mentions making a 5 degree cut so all the wood fits together as much as possible. The roof will be a plywood sheet fitting flush across the top.

That's Dumb. Setting that aside, if your short side is 4' long, and your back wall is 1' shorter than your front wall, then your pitch is 3/12. That's a 14 degree angle - well, ~14.04 degrees, but if you can measure .04 degrees with a protractor (and then cut it), you are a better carpenter than I.

My guess is the 5 degrees is either just to get it close or the size of their coop works idk. there would be a 2' difference from back to front. using the rise over run to figure the angle would the rise be the difference from one wall to the other or the tallest wall? sorry if I'm not articulating that correctly.

My main concern right now is the rafter angle cut so i can make it flush against the top lumber and give me more surface area to screw in.

Its due to the sizing of their coop.

If you want the short wall 2' shorter than the tall wall, and your coop is 4' across on the short side, that's a 6/12 pitch. 26.6 degrees
