Pole Barn Roof
10.24.09
A pole barn roof can be in any style you choose, seeing as though a pole barn uses conventional framing.
There are 4 main room styles used for pole barns and these include, gable, hip, shed, and gambrel. Let’s explore each option.
GAMBREL ROOF
A gambrel roof is also known as a barn style roof and it provides more head room and more storage space on the top floor. They are more challenging to build, but the benefits are the space they provide and the beautiful appearance.
SHED ROOF
The shed roof is a single straight pitched roof , which is used for smaller pole barn sheds. It’s a very simple roof as it requires the front wall to be higher than the back wall to provide a slight slope for water to run off. Snow can be an issue as it wont just readily run down and off the roof and can put pressure on the roof causing it to bend.
HIP ROOF
A hip roof is one where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. It has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof and is shaped like a pyramid.
The benefits of this roof is that their shape makes them less susceptible to wind damage.
A hip roof is simple to build and usually used for single story pole barns. The hip roof eliminates the need for eaves and gable end walls for a simple build.
GABLE ROOF
A gable roof has two equally pitched sides and is very easy to build. It’s a great option for sheding snow as it is steeply pitched.
Ventilation and insulating are also very easy to do with a gable roof.
When considering building a pole barn from storage shed plans , take into consideration the best roof option for your pole barn.
