Patio Fall Ratio Definition

The Patio Fall Ratio (PATR) is a measure used in landscaping and construction to determine the slope or gradient of a patio. It is calculated by dividing the vertical drop of the patio by its width. This ratio is important for ensuring proper drainage and preventing water accumulation on the patio surface.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Patio Fall Ratio (PATR):

\[ PATR = \frac{0.5}{5} = 0.1 \]

The Patio Fall Ratio (PATR) is 0.1.
