gable roof
Two-sided triangular covering
A gable roof has two sloping sides that meet at a central ridge, forming triangular sections called gables at each end.
This is the classic house-shaped roof children draw—a simple inverted V.
The design sheds rain and snow efficiently and remains among the most common roof styles in residential construction.
