Gable Roof Style

Saltbox Roof Style

Barn or Gambrel Style

The Clerestory Style

Lean To Style

Deciding on which style you like may depend on some factors you need to consider before building your new shed.

The easiest type of shed to build would be the gable style shed, and the most difficult to build would be the clarestory, then the saltbox style sheds.

The previous 3 styles offer virtually no storage space in the roof cavity or shed loft as it is called. The Barn or Gambrel style shed is moderately easy to build, and offers the most storage space in the loft.

If you are looking for a shed design that is moderately easy to build, looks neat, and offers more storage space to rid your garage of all that clutter, then you want to build a barn or shed with the gambrel style roof line.

I usually suggest using the saltbox and clarestory style sheds if you are looking to build yourself a garden or potting shed. They are great looking sheds, and adding flower boxes, shutters and the like will add greatly to your shed design and character of the shed.

The following gable style shed design is a really neat looking garden shed, or even a shed that can be used for a studio, or just a neat retreat to get away from it all.
