If it’s a stylish and sophisticated carport you’re after, then a carport with a Dutch gable roof could be the perfect choice for you.

Question: What is a Dutch gable roof?

Answer: A Dutch gable roof is a standard hip roof with a pediment or gable at the top. The gable is usually entirely decorative.

Question: Is a Dutch gable roof more expensive to build?

Answer: In a word, yes. Extra framing is required to build the Dutch gable, requiring more time and timber.

Question: Why choose a Dutch gable roof?

Answer: There are two main reasons. First, to compliment an existing structure (particularly a house) that features a Dutch gable roof. And secondly, because Dutch gable roofs add tremendous style and wow factor to any property.
