Currently getting quotes for a new 175ft x 80ft building 20ft to eaves but I am unsure what roof pitch to specify.
Is there a standard pitch for a fibre cement roof? What are the pros and cons of altering the roof pitch (apart from ridge height)? Would it change the price of the building?
I have specified a 20 degree pitch as I am thinking of putting some pv panels on the roof and I am told this is the optimum pitch for them however I think Western Power are going to want too much to upgrade my power supply which will make the pv project unaffordable.
If the pv project doesn't go ahead I am keen to keep the ridge as low as possible to reduce the visual impact.
Cheers
