TRUSS CALCULATOR
NHC TRUSS CALCULATOR
Our calculator finds the rake length of your roof using the span, overhang, and pitch measurements. Just enter your measurements, and our tool will instantly calculate your rake length.
HOW TO USE OUR CALCULATOR
Curious about how to design the perfect roof truss for your home and figure out the cost? Our NHC Truss Calculator will help you determine key details, including dimensions and construction basics to start planning your roof truss budget.
View the diagram below with some further details on what the calculator requires.
PITCH
This is the slope of the roof,
shown as a fraction, measured as rise over run.
SPAN
This is the total width of the house, the distance between two exterior walls.
OVERHANG
This is the part of the roof that extends beyond the exterior wall.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Each truss calculation is unique to your roof’s exact size and dimensions. It’s essential to use your precise measurements rather than estimates from other projects or homeowners.
EXPERTS IN DILIGENCE
Our press machines clamp each gusset individually instead of using a roller press as most component shops do, allowing for straighter, higher-quality trusses. You’ll never have to worry about late or damaged deliveries. The NHC delivery teams bands the components carefully to make sure the truss package can be dropped at the right spot on the job site.
