Bloody genius

Tremendously useful app

Simple

Great a complement to Dan’s square.

Simple to use and gives the length of the rafter no maths to make mistakes with

The ultimate roofing square is amazing

This app is a great accompaniment to the Ultimate Roofing Square. As a hobbyist self-builder it helped me cut a large double garage roof extension with ease over the summer (once I’d realised the hip rafters were a different pitch). This app is helpful, but I’d highly recommend the tool to go alongside it. Rob
