A gable roof is by far the most common style of shed roof. It’s easily identified by its familiar A-shaped profile that has two sloping planes of equal length.
While gable roofs need additional support against wind, they provide excellent drainage for rain and snow and are more weather resistant than flat roofs. They also allow for better ventilation.
This type of roof can provide space for storage or a loft.
The Gambrel roof maximizes attic space. In barns and sheds, they allow for a taller loft area.
A gambrel roof is ideal when you need to fit in larger-sized items, like a tractor or a boat.
Saltbox roofs are ideal for areas with moderate to heavy rainfall. As the long side covers most of the structure, it can efficiently route rainwater straight into the gutters.
This style gives you a higher entry point at the front with plenty of headroom. This design also keeps the shelves on the back wall at a very manageable height, particularly for heavy items.
The sloped roof of the lean-to shed will allow water and snow to run off to one side of the roof without soaking into the wood. A lean-to storage shed is also easy to fit into tight spaces where other storage shed outbuildings might take up too much room.
Pretty up your garden with a cottage style shed and add some sincere functionality to your backyard. You can purpose this well-crafted structure to suit a myriad of uses.
Having a roof overhang protects the walls and the base of the shed. The roof overhang gives a lot of protection above doors and windows from rain. Even wind driven rain finds it difficult to enter a shed when protected by a relatively small overhang.
