Skillion roofs
Skillion roofs are simple, clean and practical for many farm and lifestyle sheds.
Use the Baier Group shed designer to turn these choices into a quote-ready concept. The more specific the design, the easier it is to discuss materials, engineering and final pricing.
Gable roofs
Gable roofs create a more traditional shed form and can suit wider buildings or sites where the roof shape matters visually.
Height and pitch together
Eaves heights and roof shape should be checked against vehicle clearance, site exposure and engineering.
Next steps
Start with the shed use, then choose a realistic footprint, bay count and wall layout. If you are comparing options, save the practical features first: access, weather protection, height and enough room to work safely around equipment.
