Mono pitch skillion roof framing.

The mono pitch roof is always made out of one single roofing surface. If you plan to have eaves to protect the shed walls make sure you add the extra length when measuring the rafters. The single sloped surface of a skillion roof is not attached to another roof surface making it quite different from a dual pitched or gable roof. For this reason the rubber skins or roofing membranes that are necessary on flat or low pitched roofs may be done away with.

Skillion roofs tend to be fairly steeply pitched which allows water to run off more effectively than on flatter roofs. Mono meaning single and the slope is referred to as the pitch.

Mono pitched roof construction is generally standalone roofs which imply that you don t need to attach them to any part of your roof.
