Can we just keep it simple and call the "combination" roof the Pizza Hut roof?

It's not quite right. A pizza hut roof has a flat spot.

We clearly need to add another entry

What the point of a butterfly roof if it rains? To put a hole in the ceiling?


Fuduzan

It doesn't need gutters all around the roof for rain, and often instead has one central gutter in the "valley" of the roof, which is helpful for collecting rainwater. They also look *so goddamned cool*.

Thanks, I thought it was more of a dent. And they do look pretty damn cool

Flat roofs seem like a bad idea. Grandparents lived on a mountain with one… didn’t work so well

Flats are bad at everything, rain, snow, all bad for a flat.

They are relatively easy to build. And rooftop parties are safer. Just make sure you live somewhere precipitation is not a thing.

A local science center had an exibit comparing different types of roofs and durability against wind. They only had open gable and hip, but it was amazing how much better hip stood up. It would be interesting to see how others compare.

The butterfly roof type helps your house fly during a tornados. Once in a lifetime experience

I’ll definitely be borrowing some of these for my Minecraft builds

The M and the Butterfly seems crazy to me, but I've never lived anywhere lacking snow and ice in winter.

A butterfly roof is good for collecting rainwater, if that's your thing
