Abstract
A rafter measuring template includes a length adjustable primary arm, the distance between opposed ends being user-adjustable to indicate a rafter length. A ridge assembly is coupled to the primary arm configured to clamp onto a ridge board and determine potential rafter angle. The ridge assembly includes a clamp portion selectively attachable to the ridge board and securing the primary arm and an angle measurement portion coupled to the clamp portion and pivotal in an up/down manner, the measurement portion having indicia indicative of the angle of the primary arm relative to the ridge board. A wall plate engagement member having a wall plate is coupled to the primary arm defining an upstanding channel having a plurality of spaced apart selectable notches indicative of predetermined rafter widths. A plate engagement flange is capable of nesting flush against the wall plate such that the engagement flange determines a plate notch configuration.
