Skillion roofs are sometimes called a shed roof, a flat roof, in Australia or a lean to in the UK.

In this case even though the main roof has a flat ceiling, the skillion part will have a sloping ceiling line to maximise the ceiling height. Skillion roofs can also be used to provide clerestory windows for a hallway or similar room where a row of windows is placed below the edge of the skillion section reaching above the other roof below.

Often confused with skylight s , the roof window does differ from each of these other architectural and natural lighting elements in a few basic ways. A roof window is often a good option when there is a desire to allow both light and fresh air into the space. A roof window tends to be larger than a skylight , making it possible to enjoy a wider view of the sky overhead. In addition, skylight s are usually stationary that is, they cannot be opened and closed. With some designs of a roof window , it is possible to retract a portion of the glazed panes to allow in fresh air as well as enjoy the natural light. ref http www.wisegeek.com what is a roof window.htm ref A roof window is also different from a tubular skylight , in that the light is not directed through any type of channel or tube in order to provide lighting for the interior of a building. This type of light tube design is often employed with buildings where the installation of a skylight or roof window is not practical. ref http www.wisegeek.com what is a roof window.htm ref While a roof window is normally included in the original construction of the building, it is possible to add the design feature to an existing structure.

There is a long history of the use of roof racks and their designs. They allow users of an automobile to transport objects on the roof of the vehicle without reducing interior space for occupants, or the cargo area volume limits such as in the typical car s Trunk automobile trunk design. The three most common components of a roof rack system are side rails or tracks , towers which clamp or otherwise attach to the rails, and mounts, which secure the bulky items to the rack system. Older roof racks were usually mounted directly to the gutter surrounding the roof line. More modern vehicles, which do not have gutters, can often have a roof rack installed by attaching hooks to the top of the door frames. Some automobiles have fittings for proprietary racks which mate with reinforced lugs in the roof. Other vehicles have a factory installed permanent roof rack.

The term Dutch gable is also used to mean a gable with parapet s. A drawback of a hip roof is its reduced available attic space for a given roof pitch. compared to simple gable roofs. In Mediterranean climates with lower snow loads, high roof pitches look out of place, making hip roofs impractical. Yet simple gable roofs are also problematic, since there are important advantages to having lower eave s that overhang the perimeter of the house, such as reduced solar gain of the structure during the hot summer months, and a significant rain shadow on the perimeter of the house. This rain shadow greatly reduces the moisture content of the soil, thus inhibiting both foundation decay, and subterranean termite s, which are common in these areas. These advantages of the gablet roofline offset the additional Framing construction framing complexity which is minor in areas that have low snow loads anyway . A gablet roof combines the benefits of both the gable and the hip roof while adding additional architectural interest.

Roof tents have traditionally taken the form of a conventional ridge pole tent which can be folded into a compact package, resting on marine ply wood, and mounted on a roof rack . Beginning in 1958, more modern tent designs appeared housed in a waterproof, moulded fiberglass or carbon fibre box, and are erected and taken down more quickly using a simple crank operated cantilever arrangement or gas rams that automatically erect the tent when the latches are released.
