Differences between hip and gable roofs
Hip Roof
The main feature you will notice with a hip roof is the slants on either side of the roof. The slants are all equal in length to each other and naturally join to form a square shape. They can also be found rectangular as well with 2 sides shaped like triangles as they form.
Gable Roofs
The difference with a gable roof is it only has 2 sloping sides which join at the top. Slopes are often rectangular in shape but can vary depending on the design.
