"Measure twice, cut once" — Carpenter's wisdom for precise gable siding projects

How the Gable Siding Calculator Works

Our calculator uses precise geometric formulas to determine gable end area:

  • Standard Gable: Area = (Width × Height) / 2 – perfect triangle calculation
  • Dutch Gable: Combines triangular gable + trapezoidal hip section
  • Multiple Gables: Totals all gable ends with single waste factor

Understanding Gable Measurements

  • Width: Measured at the eave line (base of triangle)
  • Height: Vertical distance from eave to peak
  • Peak Height: Not the same as roof pitch
  • Hip Section: For Dutch gables, the lower trapezoidal area

Why Contractors Trust This Calculator

  • Accurate Estimates – Professional-grade calculations
  • Multiple Gable Types – Standard, Dutch, and custom
  • Waste Factor Included – Prevents material shortages
  • Works Offline – Perfect for job sites
  • Free Forever – No registration required
