Italian term or phrase: fuori squadro
In the context of a table of dimensions for roofing panels, eg. length, width, pitch, depth etc, the final dimension is "fuori squadro" - any ideas??

Explanation:
non sono completamente sicura della traduzione, ma in caso volessi sapere cosa significa, vuol che la dimensione finale è fuori proporzione rispetto alle altre, non in linea, ad esempio storta.

Explanation:
two possibilities
1. the final dimension is not squared, straight (a piombo); it may represent the allowable deviation from actual pitch required.

2. the dimension is listed but not pictured within the drawing
