1. Begin by sketching a top-down view of your roof – dimensions don't need to be precise yet.
2. Measure your roof's length, noting the measurement for the next step.‍
3. Determine the width of the metal. Divide the roof length by metal width.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the other side, accounting for any slight size differences.
5. Measure from the fascia board to the ridge for panel length on one side of the roof. This completes the measurement process.

How To Calculate A Roofing Square

🛠️ Worker active sitewide

1. Identify the planes: Count the planes your roof comprises, varying with architectural intricacies.
2. Measure each plane: For each plane, determine its length and width.
3. Multiply both for the plane's square footage (e.g., 35 ft. x 36 ft. = 1260 sq. ft.).
4. Sum up: Combine all plane square footages for a total (e.g., 1,260 sq. ft. + 1,260 sq. ft. = 2,520 sq. ft.).
5. Find squares: Divide the total square footage by 100 to ascertain squares (e.g., 2,520 sq. ft. / 100 = 25.2 squares).
6. Account for slope: Consider slope, impacting material needs.
7. Calculate slope by vertical rise for every 12 horizontal inches (e.g., 4 inches rise = 4:12 slope).
8. Use online calculators for ease. When calculating squares needed, add 10% for potential errors and installation considerations.
