Above them, a second 3\/12 shed roof rises to the 18 ft 7 in tall left wall. A structural LVL clerestory beam on three posts carries both roofs, so there is no outward thrust and no ties are needed across the rooms.

On this shed roof house, keep the gutter over the clerestory clean and clear heavy snow from the low roof in front of the clerestory windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### How tall should a clerestory window be?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this plan, the clerestory window band runs from 11' 10-9\/16\" to 15' 3-1\/16\" above the floor, about 3' 4-1\/2\" tall. The clerestory windows sit between the low roof and the high roof along the full length of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### Which way should a clerestory house face?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeally the clerestory band faces south (north in the southern hemisphere), so winter sun comes deep into the living room. The high-roof overhang shades the clerestory windows in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### Can I mirror this shed roof house plan?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can mirror this shed roof house plan by building every drawing left-to-right, with the tall wall on the right.

In this mansard house plan, that space holds a 19 x 18 ft sleeping loft with a 7 ft flat ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### What are the disadvantages of a mansard roof?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main disadvantages of a mansard roof are that the steep slopes shed snow fast and the flat top needs membrane care. On this mansard roof, keep walkways out of the drip line and keep the flat roof clean so water never stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### What is the typical pitch of a mansard roof?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMansard roofs have a very steep lower slope and a flat or low upper part. In this plan, the four mansard slopes are 68.2 degrees (about 30\/12) under a flat roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### Can I add dormers instead of roof windows?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you can add classic mansard dormers instead of roof windows, fitted between the rafters at the same positions.
