Pole Barn Sloped Roof

Each roof type has advantages and disadvantages.

Pole barn sloped roof.

In my humble opinion in most cases single slope roofs are neither aesthetically pleasing nor the most cost effective solution. Roof pitch is the term used to describe the angle or slope of the roof. Since many pole barns use conventional rafter framing any roof style can conceivably be used. Porticos extend the sloped roof using glulam beams allowing for a covered area that is not only practical but aesthetically pleasing.

Single slope metal buildings are made with non combustible materials and provide reliability strength. The four major types of roofs used for barns are gable hip shed and gambrel. The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7. Simplytough metal roof and metal wall panels are built from a high performance cold formed steel framing structural system.

Single sloped roof pole barn buildings are often used as loafing pole sheds for animals but with the addition of a portico the building can be transformed into an exceptional piece of architecture. Roof pitch can impact both the form and function of your barn. Gambrel roofs provide more head room and provide storage space on the top floor. Neither one of these experiences caused me to see single slope roofs as the less than ideal solution to most pole building needs.

Fcp is one of the few barn manufacturers that offer a 3 12 pitch roof without an upcharge.
