Pyramidal roof is a hip type of roof. It has no vertical sides or gables. The purpose of the project is to provide the roofing design with a small modification of installing draining water pipes from roof to the ground surface and ventilation facility. Pyramidal roof withstands and gives strength against hurricanes. Due to their aerodynamic shape, a pyramidal roof is less likely to be damaged by high winds then most other roof styles. With its even sides and overhanging eaves, the pyramidal roof gives the home a striking and distinctive appearance. This roof style looks good from all angles. The roofing design contains with a small modification of installation of draining water pipes from roof to ground surface and ventilation facility.
