Instead of the flat ceiling the triangular pitch of the roof becomes the gable ceiling. A gable roof is a heavy structure and if you want to prevent your roof from collapsing you ll have to frame the structure correctly. A gable roof is a simple symmetrical triangular roof. Gable ceilings are created when the builder or homeowner does not install a flat ceiling in a single story home with a triangular roofline.

The shape and size of a roof depends on the span and the floor. Gable roofs without ceiling joists provide a much higher and triangular shaped ceiling inside the home. A standard triangular roof known as a gable roof is framed using rafters which are diagonal members that support the roofing materials. A gable roof consists of two upward sloping sides that slope at the same angle and from the end look like a symmetrical triangle.

To build your gable roof you ll need wooden boards cut into joists rafters supports and a ridge board in addition to sheathing felt paper and shingles. Putting it together is relatively straight forward if you have basic carpentry skills and use precise measurements.
