A shed roof, also known variously as a pent roof, lean-to roof, outshot, catslide, skillion roof (in Australia and New Zealand), and, rarely, a mono-pitched roof, is a single-pitched roof surface. This is in contrast to a dual- or multiple-pitched roof.
An outshot or catslide roof is a pitched extension of a main roof similar to a lean-to but an extension of the upper roof. Some Saltbox homes were created by the addition of such a roof, often at a shallower pitch than the original roof.
Definition from ChatGPT:
Shed roof:
A shed roof is a single-sloping roof surface that typically has a steeper pitch than a flat roof but not as steep as a gable roof. It is a simple roof design often used for sheds, lean-tos, and modern or minimalist architectural styles. The shed roof slopes in one direction, allowing for easy rainwater drainage.
