Pitched Roof

A roof with a significant slope, typically above 15 degrees, that sheds rainwater by gravity. Common forms for extensions include lean-to (mono-pitch), gable-end, and hipped roofs. Pitched roofs are generally more durable and longer-lasting than flat roofs and can be covered with clay or concrete tiles, natural slate, or fibre cement slates.
