What is Ridge Height?

Ridge height refers to the measurement from the base of a building to the highest point of its roof, typically the peak of the roof’s ridge. This measurement is often used in building regulations to ensure structures do not exceed a certain height, and it can also impact aspects like wind resistance and drainage.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RH = 3 + \left( \frac{10}{2} \right) \times \tan(30^\circ) = 5.89 \text{ meters} \]

The Ridge Height is 5.89 meters.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ RH = 4 + \left( \frac{12}{2} \right) \times \tan(45^\circ) = 10.00 \text{ meters} \]

The Ridge Height is 10.00 meters.
