Percent = rise / run × 100. Degrees = arctan(rise / run). A 2 m rise over 10 m run is a 20% slope or about 11.3°.

How it works

Percent = rise / run × 100. Degrees = arctan(rise / run). A 2 m rise over 10 m run is a 20% slope or about 11.3°.

Worked example

2 m rise, 10 m run → 20% slope, 11.31°. Perfect for a gentle access ramp.

Recommendations

  • Keep wheelchair ramps under 8% (about 5°)
  • Drainage pipes work from 1% (1:100) upward
  • Driveways feel steep above 15%

Tips & advice

  • Use a string line and level for outdoor measurements
  • Always measure perpendicular to the slope
  • Check local building codes for ramp limits
