Neat Web Building Calculators

[Duker]

My apologies if this web address has been posted before but I stumbled upon it while looking for some information on building a hip roof for a storage shed I am beginning to construct. http://www.blocklayer.com/roof/roofeng.aspx

It converts to both metric and imperial measurements. There are numerous other calculators from stair stringer layout to arc and oval layouts. There is also a mobile version which I have yet to try but I thought it might be of interest to others in the planning or construction stages. Just an FYI...

The building web calculator is fantastic. I need to cut stringers for the deck terrace and this sure will make it easy.
