Is that last design still 22 degree? Would it make things easier overall if we end up changing to colorbond and can go lower? The other option we have is to square off the bottom left corner so it all lines up on the left side, but I'm not sure if that would help, and might even make things worse if we go with hip.

You can go down to 7º with CB but I think thats too low. I wouldn't have anything less than 15º and even that might not suit the style of your house.

Yes, but I think no matter what you choose you should consider what it looks like from the front - all the other sides don't matter anywhere near as much.

Yeah I think hip looks better overall, though some gables are nice as well. Not sure if you saw the hip designs in my last post, but it looks like that should work. Re: Help with roof design 12Jun 22, 2014 10:05 pm Sorry that was poorly worded, what I mean is we are making that inside part of the U fatter, which is where we have extended past the previous wall by 2.5m or so (see the blue lines for the existing wall). So we aren't filling the whole "U" in, but we are extending a little inside it which is why we can't keep that part of the roof as is.
