shed roof

Single-slope storage cover

A shed roof is a roof with a single sloping plane, pitched in one direction only.

Unlike gabled roofs with two slopes meeting at a ridge, a shed roof angles from a higher wall to a lower one: The modern cabin featured a dramatic shed roof.

Common on additions, porches, and contemporary architecture for its simplicity and ease of construction.
