What is an Open Gable Roof

An Open Gable Roof is a type of roof in which the triangular sections at the ends (called gables) are left open, exposing the roof’s structure beneath. It features two sloping sides that converge at the top, forming a ridge. This design is common in residential homes, barns, and sheds. It offers a simple and effective solution for shedding water and snow while allowing ventilation through the open gables. The roof’s aesthetic appeal and practicality make it a popular choice in various architectural styles.
