The Gambrel roof also known as the barn roof has plenty of space that can be used for storage, an extra living space, or may include dormers for additional lighting. The lower edge of the half-hip may have a gutter which leads back on to the remainder of the roof on one or both sides. The Half Hip roof has the upper point of the gable which is replaced by a small hip, squaring off the top of the gable. It has eaves on all sides which can provide shading over windows.
