Gable roof (transverse)

With a crosswise gable roof, the ridge runs across the depth of the building, so the eaves are at the ends of the building. A crosswise gable roof is possible on garden saunas and aittas up to 13 m².

When the building is 2.2 metres deep, a crosswise gable roof comes with a longer front eave as standard, up to 70 cm.
