How to Calculate the quantity of roofing sheets

Getting a competitive price from traders or vendors online these days is hard to come by without BetaPrices pricing guides like this one. This is because our aim is to equip our website visitors with cost information that results in giving value for their hard-earned money without compromising quality.
How to calculate Quantity of Roofing sheets in Nigeria
From the simple Roof plan above, you can see the different components of a typical roof like the King post, Structs, Rafter, Tie beam, Purlin, Eaves overhang, Ridge etc.

To calculate the quantity of Roofing Sheets, we need to know the numerical values of at least two sides of the traingle in the diagram (Side A, B & C).

Side A is the hypotenuse which can be gotten with known slopes.
Side B is the Adjacent: half of the width of the building which is readily available.
Side C is the Opposite: which approximately represents the length of the roof height/King post (if any).

From our sketch, take the height of the King post to be 1,200 mm, total length of block wall to be 6,500 mm and the width of the block wall to be 3,600 mm.

To get the total sloped length, we divide 3,600 by 2 to get 1,800 then add one side of the Eave Overhang to the triangle to arrive at 2,400 mm.

Therefore;
A = X
B = 2.4 m
C = 1.2 m
Using Pythagorean Theorem to find the true length of A, that is A^2 = B^2 + C^2, we got X to be 2.68 meters.

Now, to get the area of just half of the simple roof style, we add the two sides of the Eave to the TOTAL LENGTH of the end-to-end block wall to arrive at 7,700mm. We also do the same thing for the WIDTH to get 4,800 mm.

Therefore, the quantity of Roofing sheets needed for this project is 7.7 x 4.8 = 36.96 m2, for the both sides, it becomes 36.96×2 which is 73.92 m2.
