Gable Roof Design

The traditional gable roof is the most commonly requested roof design. This simple truss is effective and affordable. With slopes commonly requested between 2/12 and 8/12 the gable roof design is the workhouse of most pole barn designs. You will see the gable roof used for all building functions – garages, shops, homes, barns…and more. If you you have a tight budget and are looking for a standard diy building this is the roof design for you.

Monitor Roof Design

The monitor roof is sort of a by product of the gable roof. This pole barn design works great for horse barns and RV storage. With its tall center section the monitor building allows for tall objects in the center or doors on both ends that allow vehicles to drive through. This building is also a popular horse barn because of how the layout works great with stall kits. If you are looking for an effective horse barn this may be the best building design for you. This building is available in clearspan or interior pole supported options. If this design hasn’t already shown it’s flexibility of uses think of adding a center loft. We have many examples of beautiful homes created using the monitor roof design.

Gambrel Roof Design

One of the more rarely requested roof designs is the gambrel roof. Although it may come at a slightly higher cost per square foot than other roof designs, the gambrel building can be a popular look. Being one of the older pole barn designs the gambrel building adds some character to your next diy building project. Look into our cupolas or widows peak options – pairing well with the gambrel roof.

Custom Building Designs
