CHAPTER I.
FORMS OF ROOFS.
THE forms of roofs are very varied. They differ, of course, according to the plan of the building to be covered in, and they may differ also on buildings having the same plan.
Thus, a building with a square or rectangular plan may be covered in, so far as its size will admit, with a simple lean-to roof of one sloping side; or a span roof, with two sloping sides and a ridge; or four sloping sides and four hips; or eight sloping sides, with four valleys, two ridges, and four gables; or four sloping sides, with four sloping ridges or hips, and four gable ends. Each of these forms will be illustrated presently.
The most simple form is the lean-to or single slope. In this, the wall of one side of the building is carried up as much higher than the opposite one as may be necessary to obtain the requisite fall for the water to run off as quickly as possible.
In Fig. 1, A shows the plan, and B the end elevation, of a building covered in with a roof of this description.
