sloped roof
Tilted building cover
A sloped roof is a roof that angles downward from a ridge or peak, allowing rain and snow to run off rather than pooling.
Most residential architecture uses sloped roofs—gabled, hipped, or shed designs—while commercial buildings more often have flat roofs.
The sloped roof kept the snow from accumulating.
