Detailed Summary
Gable sheds are a good choice when building a storage shed. Gable styled roofs have stood the test of time, in part for their snow shedding ability and extra storage capacity. Gable roof pitches ranges from 3/12 (very gradual) to 12/12 (extremely steep). Most of our sheds are designed for a 6/12 pitch which is right in the middle. Our gable shed plans feature the door and windows (if any) under the peak.
