How do you end a gable frame?

A gabled roof is a roof with two sloping sides that come together at a ridge, creating end walls with a triangular extension, called a gable, at the top. Also known as pitched or peaked roof, gable roofs are some of the most popular roofs in the US.

How do you increase the pitch by building a roof over an existing roof?

Use prefabricated trusses to put a new pitch on the roof. Give the width and length of the roof and a chosen pitch to a truss supplier to build trusses to order. Use at least a 6/12 pitch, rising 6 inches per foot of slope, to provide attic storage; get special attic roof trusses to make a room inside the new roof.
