I want to build a detached back patio cover over my patio and I’m trying to figure out what degree angle I need to cut the side boards at.
The rear of the patio cover will stand at 8 feet high and the front of it will stand at 7 feet high. The beam which will connect the rear tofront is 8 feet, minus the little bit that will be need to shaved off to make the angled cuts.
I drew out two pictures (I’m no artist lol) to try to show what I’m talking about. I circled the angles I’m trying to figure out. I tried to figure it out and I think it’s like 83°, but I want to know if there is an easier way to figure it out or a specific equation that you guys use?
