Equine Facilities: Barn Roof Styles and Construction: Monitor Roof

Last Updated: October 09, 2006 | Related resource areas: Horses

The full monitor roof is made up of two shed sections and a gable section for the center portion of the roof. The vertical wall area separating the shed and gable roof provides natural light and ventilation. The monitor shape is seldom used for horse buildings less than 36 feet wide. The roof of a large gable structure with attached sheds is, in a sense, full monitor. Its use matches that of a clear-span building of similar size with side extensions. Framing is similar to that for shed and gable roofs.
