calculate angle on roof brackets
Don't really know where to post my question, but I think it has a bit to do with construction techniques.
I have built a house for my robotic lawnmower, now I'm fixing gutters and downpipes.
But I don't know how to determine the angle on the fascia board.
Is there any kind soul who can help me calculate it?
If everything is correct, the roof is 30 degrees I hope, but not entirely sure.
I have no idea how to figure out which angle I need for the gutter brackets to make it right.

Place a spirit level on the bargeboard and draw a horizontal and a vertical line. You will then have a right-angle triangle where a part of the edge of the bargeboard constitutes the hypotenuse. Measure the two sides you have drawn and calculate the roof angle as arctan(vertical side divided by horizontal side).

This construction is more advanced than I understood.
Is it the customer who has changed their mind or is it the designer who isn't aware of what is supposed to fit? This is how it is sometimes with house building, but as a craftsman, you get a bit tired when they can't make up their minds or keep track of things... I hope you're working on a rolling account...L luckmålare said:

Otherwise fine! 👍
Hahah... No, it's all myself, unfortunately, so no one to blame 😂😉T Testarn said:Is it the customer who changed their mind or the designer who doesn't know what should be included?

I hope you're working on a time and materials basis...

Otherwise, nice! 👍
So just to start over, we'll see when I actually tackle the house again. It's cold to be standing in the garage working on it.
