When it comes to outdoor roofing options, the choice of gable (pitched) or skillion (flat or slightly angled) can be made for a variety of different reasons.

A skillion roof

• Is the simplest building option and usually more cost-effective.
• Doesn’t involve complicated carpentry.
• Is angled to ensure rain run off without having to add guttering between the patio and the house.  
• Can be installed quickly – some skillion patios can be put up in a day.

A gable roof

• Can match the style of your house roof.
• Can be cooler, as the height of the pitch allows more room for warm air to rise.  
• Is more expensive than a skillion roof.
• Provides better lighting and ventilation.
• Allows more light and air into your outdoor entertaining area.  
• Can be squeezed into narrow space.  

If you are thinking of installing a patio before the summer heat arrives, talk to your local patio specialist and they’ll be able to give you advice about the best style for your home and your budget.
