Would it make things easier overall if we end up changing to colorbond and can go lower? Yes all 22º. It would end up being much the same no matter what the roof covering. 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. Quote: Also, ignoring the hips for a moment, would something like this work? (I guess not since the height of the gutter at that short valley would be too high?) 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.

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.
