A roof for your gazebo

The moment has finally arrived, you've tied the knot and the gazebo is going to be built. Then you have to start thinking about one of the most important parts of the garden shed: the roof. Because without a roof no gazebo. There are different types of roofs, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Flat roofs

The most commonly chosen form is a log cabin with a flat roof. That this type of roof is often preferred for a gazebo is easily explained. A flat roof is easy to install and maintain. To ensure optimal drainage of rainwater, the roof is not completely flat, but has a slight angle. A flat roof also looks modern and stylish, matching any garden design. A pent roof is similar to a flat roof, but has a slightly greater slope. Like the flat roof, this type of roof consists of a single plane, and is the simplest waterproofing for a log cabin next to the flat roof.

Pointed roofs

The best known pitched roof is the gable roof. With a gable roof, the roof consists of two roof planes lying against each other, which looks like an inverted V. If you would like a veranda or canopy at your log cabin, then a gable roof is very nice. It gives a cozy and classic look, and it provides some extra space at the top of the summerhouse. Do you really want to go all out, and is a gable roof or flat roof too boring for you? Then opt for a log cabin with cap shed. This type of roof is similar to a saddle roof, but is higher so you have even more storage space. All roof types are possible for a nice roof for your garden shed, so choose what fits the style of your garden. Flat roof, pointed roof, canopy or not - there is a suitable garden shed for every garden.
