Roof pitch is a term describing how steep or flat your roof slope is. Roof pitch or slope is a measure of vertical rise to horizontal run expressed in inches per foot. Pitch is the incline of the roof represented as the ratio of rise to the span twice the run. For example if the roof rises 4 feet and the span is 16 feet twice the run then the pitch is 4 16 or 1 4.

The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7. Roof pitch refers to the slope which the rafter creates. Since this is a flat roof or nearly flat roof. The combination of two numbers are used to display or show the roof pitch.
