What is a "hipped roof"?

A hipped roof is a type of roof design where all sides slope downward toward the walls, creating a gentle, sloping shape. This design provides better stability against strong winds and allows for more even weight distribution. Hipped roofs are often seen in residential homes and can be covered with various materials, such as shingles or tiles. The sloped sides also help with water drainage, preventing water from pooling on the roof and reducing the risk of leaks. This roof style is known for its durability and can enhance the overall appearance of a building.
