I would love some input for you all on what roof style I should go with for my detached garage. I am currently leaning toward gable for a couple of reasons.
1. I think it will tie into the gable end on the house which will also be facing the road.
2. Due to the 10 foot walls and 4/12 pitch roof (which is necessary to stay within city bylaws for overall building height) I feel that a hip roof would result in it looking quite boxy.
The garage will be built so the door will be set back about 9 feet from the back wall of the house. Just behind my covered car in the attached photo.
Here is a picture of the design with the gable roof. Garage is 18 feet wide and 26 feet deep.
