A-frames

Peaked mountain lodges

A-frames are structures shaped like the capital letter A, with two sloping sides meeting at a peak and no vertical walls.

The design appears in houses, tents, signage stands, and exercise equipment.

An A-frame cabin has a distinctive steep roofline that sheds snow well: They rented an A-frame in the mountains for ski season.
