The Raked Walls calculator determines the exact length of each stud needed for a wall with a sloped (raked) top plate, ensuring accurate cuts and proper structural integrity.

Using trigonometric principles, it calculates the height of each stud based on the wall's starting height, slope angle, and stud spacing, providing a complete cut list for your framing project.

Add door and window openings so the cut list accounts for trimmers, cripples, and jack studs as required.

Flexible inputs: specify the low side plus pitch, the high side plus pitch, or provide both low and high side heights and the calculator will determine the pitch for you.

Key Features

• Calculate individual stud lengths for raked walls
• Support for both rising and falling slopes
• Account for different stud spacings
• Generate complete cut lists with measurements
• Visualize the wall profile and stud positions
• Define door/window openings with positions and widths
• Multiple input modes: low+pitch, high+pitch, or low+high to auto-calc pitch

How to Use

1. Enter the starting height of the wall
2. Specify the wall length and slope (rise or fall)
3. Set your stud spacing (typically 450mm or 600mm on center)
4. Choose your measurement precision
5. Choose your input mode:
6. • Low + Pitch: enter the low-side height and the pitch
7. • High + Pitch: enter the high-side height and the pitch
8. • Low + High: enter both heights; the calculator will compute the pitch
9. Add any openings (doors or windows): set their positions and widths so the cut list reflects trimmers/cripples
10. View the calculated stud lengths in a sequential cut list
