Wind Load on Pitched Free Roof (Open Building)

(OP)
When using ASCE 7-05 for wind loads on open structures, Net Pressure Coefficients are provided for roof slopes up to 45 degrees. So my quesiton is: what if the roof slope is greater than 45 degrees. Do we need to treat it as a solid sign instead?

RE: Wind Load on Pitched Free Roof (Open Building)

Yes...at least that's the way I would handle it.
