Height from Slope Percentage
Calculation
- Enter the length in feet and inches
- required slope in a percentage
- decimal precision, the number of digits after the decimal point
Results
- height difference in decimal inch
- height difference inches plus fraction
Example
A garage floor of 24 feet 6 inches requires a 2% slope.24'-6" = 100% To make it easier and more useful, convert the foot value into inches 24 * 12 = 288 + 6 = 294" 294 = 100%Divide this amount by one hundred and multiply it by two to get the 2 percent value;
294 ÷ 100 = 2.94 * 2 = 5.88"The garage floor needs a height difference of 5.88 inches to get the required 2% slope. (the back of the garage floor has to be 5.88 inches higher than the front)
