A gable roof is the most popular and simplest roof design to build for home construction. It has two sloping sides that meet in the middle at the ridge, creating end walls with a triangular extension, called a gable, at the top. A gable roof design is exclusively adopted in places where rainfall and snowfall is abundant. That’s because it has a high ceiling and good ventilation which doesn’t let snow, leaves, rain or any other debris gather on the roof, and in turn, it protects the home from storm and weather damage. Although gable roofs are known to possess a variety of peaks and pitches, the pitch and slopes of the roof are known to let gravity do its job and let rain water run off.
