While we don't have any plans for it, our roof simulator is atop of our burn room on our training building. The pitch is a 4 - 12, easy to walk, built like a regular roof. The only difference is it has a 4X4 metal frame attached to the rafters to keep us from destroying the entire simulator. We replace the plywood inside of the frame after an evolution.
If I had to build one from scratch I'd make the pitch different on both sides. Probably 4-12 on one side and 12-12 on the other I would also use 2X12's for the rafters and joists for better strength and protection from cuts.Comment
