pyramid roof

Four-sided slope covering

A pyramid roof is a roof with four triangular faces that slope upward from the walls to meet at a single point, forming a pyramid shape.

Unlike a hip roof, which has a ridge at the top, a pyramid roof comes to an apex: The gazebo was topped with a small pyramid roof.

Common on square or nearly square structures.
