Crafters of the Original Barn Style Shed Since 1979.
This shed design is designed to match the roof frame of most modern-day home roof lines, named for the shape of its roofline with no gables, this shed has 6” soffits all around the building. The hip roof follows a 5/12 pitch on all sides.
When built with symmetrical width and length, the roofline comes to a point. When built with non-symmetrical width and lengths, this shed features a ridgeline. Why does the roofline matter? Hip roof sheds are very sturdy structures. Because of the geometry of the roof, they are not affected by wind and elements as much as other roof designs.
Many people pick this style to match their more modern designed homes and are best suited for playhouses and even pool houses.
You can customize your hip roof shed plans or hip roof shed designs to meet your needs, have fun getting creative and ask our designers about your options! If your property is planning a fort for the kids, pool storage, or that dream playhouse these sheds are a terrific choice!
The hip roof shed comes with one entryway and a window included. You’ll be able to choose the placement of both. You can add more windows or doors for additional light, airflow and access.
Some of the more popular add on features for the Hip Roof Shed are a permanent foundation to prevent settling and limits long term foundation issues, extra windows for more light and airflow, a ramp at the door so that you can easily move big items in and out, lofts for long term storage of items and – the most popular – shelving and workbenches for instant usability.
The Hip Roof Shed is available in widths of 8’, 9.5’, 10’, and 12’ and cannot exceed 20’ in length.
