Roof shapes

Simplified diagrams of common enclosure roofs. Which shapes suit your home depends on the deck size, your eave height, HOA rules and the engineered design.

Diagram
Mansard
Sloped sides rising to a flat top; balances headroom with a moderate height.
Diagram
Gable
A triangular end facing the yard; taller in the middle and able to frame a view.
Diagram
Hip
Every outer side slopes up to a ridge; a tidy profile beside hip-roofed homes.
Diagram
Dome
Curved roof members; striking over large or freeform pools, more complex to build.
Diagram
Low-slope
One plane pitched away from the house; a lower profile where height is limited.
