What is a Gable Garage? 

Gable Garages are a popular choice for homeowners looking to add a detached garage to their property. The term gable refers to the pitched or peaked, triangular style of roof on the garage. Depending on their needs, homeowners can design the roof pitch to be slanted at different angles to accommodate the style of their house and the orientation to the street.

There are two main options for gable garages, which include:

• Front gable – The garage door sits below the roof
• Side gable – (Also known as reserve gable) The flat portion of the roof sits above the garage door

Advantages of Gable Garages

• Sturdy construction
• Vaulted ceilings provide increased storage space and ventilation
• The simple design usually makes them easier to build and less expensive
• The pitch can be made to complement the look of your home
• Windows and other features can be added to enhance the look of the garage
• The steep slope of the roof will easily shed water and snow

If you want a garage that is both beautiful and practical, a gable garage is a perfect choice.  Create a unique look by adding various features such as windows and siding trim to really help your garage stand out.
