Calculate angle easily? For wardrobe to fit in slanted ceiling.

Measure from the back of the "framework" to the wall, that will be measurement A, which you should have at the top edge.
When you measure from A, you measure horizontally and get the height B directly.
Then you cut according to C.

But how do I know how far up to measure from the back of the framework to the wall?

 

[Daniel 109]

you should measure from the floor to the ceiling where you want the back to be. If it should stand against the wall, measure at the wall.

But how do I know how high up to measure from the back of the frame to the wall?

You can measure A just as I showed in the picture, from where the sloped ceiling meets the wall to the edge of the board.
It can also be measured at the floor.

Instead of B, you can use the height from the floor to where the sloped ceiling starts.

Make sure the disc is level before measuring.

You can measure A just as I showed in the picture, from where the sloping roof meets the wall to the edge of the board.
It can also be measured at the floor.

Instead of B, you can use the height from the floor to where the sloping roof begins.

There are 32 cm left to the wall. It's not visible in the picture, but the sloping roof itself is 90 cm sloping roof. The wardrobe is 58 deep and will stand at the outermost point (where the roof begins to slope).

Place a laser on the floor 58 cm out (if that's the depth of the closet). When it shines up on the wall, you'll get the line and can measure on the wall towards the sloped ceiling. Then measure the height between the floor/sloped ceiling at the furthest point...

So there will be a gap behind?
Then move line A upwards until it becomes 58 cm.

 

[Mjärn]

There will be an empty space behind?
Then move line A upwards until it becomes 58 cm.

Yes, exactly. What do you mean upwards?

 

[Mellanbarn]

Upward towards the ceiling. Line A should be horizontal (level, parallel with the floor). When the measurement from the sloped ceiling to your board is 58 cm (A), you have found where the cut C should start.

Bought a protractor. Turned out well!
