This is a unique tool that you can not purchase and most builders and remodelers would appreciate and benefit from it.
It simply and safely and quickly helps to determine roof angles and areas for designing, or estimating or figuring the volume of a roof area on a house without actually having to get ON the roof.

Signing UpStep 1: Print it out
Download and print out this PDF. Having it laser printed on NO TEAR at a copy center is by for the most durable option. If you use an ink jet printout, it will smear in time.. so protect it with a lamination of clear adhesive tape or maybe have it laminated at a copy center.
I have use various thickness papers and double some up with double sided tape and then laminated it with scotch (type) tape.
Success is about the stiffness of the backing material and the hinges or pivot points. Grommets worked very well for me on thinner stock, but I could not find grommets that worked with thicker poster board.

I'm going to make one for myself except that I'm going to use paint stir sticks and I might do a toner transfer from my laser printer with an iron, (I'll probably make several) but I love the idea.
These would make some great stocking stuffers for some of the people that I know.
Keep up the good work and have a

I'll post one if you need it.

Please let me know how it works for you.
I tried to find some vinyl from recycled shutters / blinds as they are very easy to come up with. I found a lot of wood blinds but no vinyl. I also considered medical style wood tongue depressors like parts from a dollar store but they were not long enough.
I am really fascinated with the laser transfer idea and intend to try it also but it will have to be another trip to the copy center as I only have an inkjet.
If I can assist you with a smaller format printout, let me know and I'll get to it ASAP.

Beautifully simple, and including the conversion table and other information is a really nice touch.
Well done.

Great idea.
