Other than color, the roofline of a building probably has the most effect on the way a storage building looks. At Hometown, we have two different kinds of roofs that you can choose from. Here are some features and advantages of each.

Barn (or Gambrel) Roof

  • Popular “barn look” shape.
  • Extra storage space above.
  • More headroom.
  • Options for lofts.
  • More storage for the same base dimensions.

A Frame (or Gable) Roof

  • Traditional look with low profile design.
  • Sheds water and snow quickly.
  • Allow many options like gable placement, dormers, porches, and windows.
  • Less Expensive.

So which one is best? The choice is up to you. And after you make a decision on the roof style, you have many more ways to customize your building and make it exactly what you want, including siding, colors, doors, windows, lofts, and even financing!

No matter your choice, your choosing quality and style, simply by choosing to buy your building from Hometown Sheds!
