tent roof
Portable shelter top
A tent roof is a roof with four triangular slopes that meet at a single peak, resembling the shape of a tent.
The form appears on towers, pavilions, and gazebos.
Unlike a hip roof, which has a horizontal ridge at the top, a tent roof rises to a point: The church steeple was capped with a steep tent roof.
