After your garage has been designed and nearly finished, the next task is for you to select the toproof that will finish the construction.
There are different designs that you can choose from.
The choice will depend on the roof-type of the house, the location and the budget.
The roof is one of the parts of the garage that can be easily seen from the outside, so a wrong decision will mean that you will have to suffer for a long time.
Some of the garage roof-designs are gabled roof-and-hip design.
If you are looking for a style that is conventional, the gabled-roof is the better choice.
It is the traditional roof that has two slanting planes that meet at the top of the roof.
The main advantage of this kind of garage roof is that it can withstand extreme weather conditions.
Even when it is raining or snowing, the rain or snow will only slide down to the ground, thus not burdening your roof with their weight.
There is little room for trapped moisture that is commonly the cause of weak roof and leaks.
Some of the variations of the gabled roof design are the Dutch gable-roof, Gambrel-roof, Shed-roof, Reverse gable roof and Cross gable roof.
The hip design is both strong and stylish, with its 4 sided roof that meets at the junctions called hips.
This is ideal for garages that need extra storage space.
Each of these hips meets at a large angle so that it becomes sturdier.
There are also different styles of hip roof such as Pyramid roof, Cross-hip and Mansard roof.
Before you make the final decision, remember that the hip roof is not that common and you will have problems when it comes to the complexity of the design.
It also gives you lesser space inside because of the intricate roofing.
