Gable Porch Roof
A popular roof style that works well with any architectural style. This roof typically has a wide triangle with a low ridge. The house supports the roof to the back and the front is typically supported by posts.
Shed Porch Roof
Consists of one single overhanging roof that has a flatter slope than the roof of the house. The roof sides cover the gaps between the two roofs. This roofing style works best for long and narrow porches or decks.
Flat Porch Roof
Works best with houses with a flat roof overhang. This allows for a box-shaped porch and unique extensions and is particularly popular as an extension in English suburban homes This is because flat-roofed porches can easily be closed on all sides and fitted with a front door.
Hip Porch Roof
This porch roofing has a relatively intricate shape with a pyramid shape on the front and a ridge that is perpendicular to the wall of the house.
The back of the roofing is integrated with the wall of the house, which means that the structure of the house largely supports the porch roof. This allows for easy and affordable installation of the front posts and walls.
