Therefore, the height range for such a house can fluctuate

There are no documents as such that specifically regulate this size.

Most often, it is taken as a derivative size, depending on a number of components. Namely, the number of floors of the main house, the material from which it is built, various design features, the wishes of the client, the location of the object.

That is, for a one-story house, the pediment is rarely made so that its height is much greater than the height of the house itself. For stone houses, pediments are often made lower than for wooden houses, all other things being equal. If the client wants to make an attic in addition to the attic, then the height is also taken to be large.

It is also taken into account where the house is located - in a lowland or on a hill, what houses are nearby, so that it does not look like a black sheep against their background.

from approximately two and a half meters to also approximately 9 meters.

Supporters of classical proportions prefer to make the height of the pediment of such a house equal to 4.5 meters. Then the pediment looks like an isosceles triangle, which can later be easily used to build an attic room about 2.5 meters high and an attic room with a height equal to a person's height along the ridge of the roof.

In addition, in places where the climate conditions are such that a saudi arabia mobile database of snow falls in winter and it can linger on the roof slopes of houses for a long time, the gables can be increased in height to the maximum size (up to 9 meters). Then the snow will leave the roof much faster.

In order not to make a mistake and choose a pediment height that is normal or optimal, two basic principles are most often used.

The first principle is don't be lazy, walk around the area and see how it looks like at your neighbors. Pay special attention to houses that are similar in their parameters and characteristics to your future home. And how it looks from the outside.

The second principle is that no matter how much you draw your house on paper and in the appropriate scale, it is not very clear. Therefore, next to your house under construction, you can put a prototype of the future pediment in life size. To do this, take several edged boards and lay out a triangle. The base of which will be equal to 9 meters. In the middle, at the 4.5 meter mark, perpendicular to the base, lay a rack (that is, the future height of your pediment), and on the sides lay the roof slopes (that is, the rafter boards). Let's make the height equal to 4.5 meters. Then step back and look at the pediment project from the side. Moreover, the further you step back and become higher, the more objective the pediment and the proportions of the future house will look.
