With a building length of 40' and width of 20', a roof overhang of 2' the roof is 44' long and 24' wide.

At an angle of 22 °, the overall height above outer wall is 4'9~1/8"
The ridge top is 4'8~13/16" above top of wall.
The roof area is 1138.93 ft²
Rafter spacing is 1'3~15/16"
(Next larger spacing = 1'4~1/2" Next smaller = 1'3~7/16")

139'9~1/4" lineal eave @ 2' overhang = 279.5 ft² level
( or 293.4 ft² with side eaves = 22 ° )

Gable Area (under rafters ) = 40.4 ft²
Roof Volume (top of wall/plate to under rafters) = 1616.1 ft³
Roof Volume (top of wall/plate to top of rafters) = 2191.32 ft³


You need: 1 Ridge @ 44' × 1~1/2"
62 Rafters @ 12'10~1/2" × 8" × 1~1/2"
