Image of a Barn with High Roof Pitch

Home ›› Barn Types ›› Gable Barns ›› Gable Barn Image

This wooden Gable Barn is built with 12:12 roof pitch (45° angle).  Barns built with high roof pitch provide more headroom in the attic and help the snow to slide off the roof much faster (especially when metal roofing is used).
