Saltbox roofs pros and cons

What are the pros and cons of saltbox roofs?

Asked by Greg on 8th Sep 2022
Expert Trade Answers
"Saltbox roofs work well in northern climates with mild to heavy snow and rainfall. Since they have no flat parts, they prevent snow from settling on the roof. They can endure strong winds more than gable homes. Compared to a gable roof, the asymmetrical design of the saltbox roof is stronger and easier to maintain"
