A gambrel roof is like a gable roof, but only if you add another slope to its lower edges. A gambrel's lower slope has a much steeper pitch, while the upper side has a gentler one.

Gambrel roofs are often described as “barn roofs” because they are often seen on top of barns, farmhouses, and log cabins. However, they can also be used in many traditional homes, including Georgian and Dutch Colonial. Due to their shape, they help provide more storage within a building.

Asphalt shingles, slate, and metal are some of the most widely used materials for this type of roofing. The simpler construction also allows the gambrel roof to use only two roof beams, making the roof vulnerable to immense stress in strong winds.
