To build your gable roof, you’ll need wooden boards cut into joists, rafters, supports, and a ridge board, in addition to sheathing, felt paper, and shingles. First, you’ll need to work out your pitch so you know how long to cut your joists and rafters. All of our wooden gable trusses are custom-made to order.

Understanding the Context

We personally work with every client to ensure each truss is tailored to their project, guaranteeing the perfect fit and design every time. Wooden Gable buildings all have a 6" overhang around the entire building. We can custom build any size that meets your needs. Wooden gable brackets combine natural beauty with durability, offering a rustic charm that only real wood can provide.

Final Thoughts

The standard pitch for our wood gable accents are 6/12, 8/12, 10/12, and 12/12, but we've made this wood gable design in heights of 18/12 before as well as low as 5/12 too.
