Roof styles
We offer a number of different roof styles. All have a “roof ridge” which is the highest horizontal length of the roof. The rain falls down from the ‘roof ridge’ to the ‘roof eaves’. Even the Moderna has a “roof ridge” at its highest side.
The roof can be orientated so that the ROOF RIDGE direction runs between the front wall and the back wall OR the right wall and left wall. In other words the ridge direction runs right angles to the front wall OR parallel to the front wall.
Classic apex/ridge
The Classic apex/ridge roof style with standard 19 degree roof pitch or up to 30 degrees or down to 10 degrees. See our Classic log cabins or our “Broadly Speaking” brochure.
