Jerkinhead roofs combine two of the most popular roofing types: gable and hip. However, unlike Dutch gable, which is a fusion of both types, jerkinhead roofs are huge gables topped with a flattened, clipped edge, similar to a hip roof.

Jerkinhead roofs offer more attic space and greater wind stability than a standard hip roof. Note that this roofing type has a complicated design, making it more expensive to build than a standard gable or hip roof. This roof type's name likely owes its name to the Scottish word “kirk-head,” which means “church roof,” suggesting that this was used as the roof of choice for old Scottish churches or places of worship.
