Roof Project

1. In this project we had to choose a type of roof style and design a three D model of it. My partner and I choose the roof style, "gable".

Advantages to a gable roof

•         Simple construction,  offers largest ceiling space
•         Steep enough to drain water, and allow ventilation 
• 
  
• Disadvantages to a gable roof

• Tends to be tall so its more
• Vulnerable to natural disasters Like tornadoes and hurricanes

Gable roofs are used commonly every where but mainly where it rains or snows a lot because it is able to drain itself.

4. I learned the basic steps in building a roof. I liked creating a 3-D model. I disliked how the Popsicle sticks weren't always very sturdy in some places. Next time I would use a different material for the common rafter instead of Popsicle sticks.
