Shed roof
Roof consisting of a single sloping surface / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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,[1] 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.
