Rooflines add character to a tiny house. Shed roofs have more height at one end and are easy to build, Gable roofs are a traditional roof shape, and a Gambrel roof allows maximum loft space.
House weight and towing capacity are major factors. If you move often a lighter tiny house may be a better choice. Those needing more room or planning to be parked longer may opt for a heavier design.
Once you determined how much space is right for you, the various sizes of these houses becomes very helpful. The numbers for this metric include only the ground floor space, not loft space.
