The boxed-eave roof style is more akin to the roofs we often see on residential houses, with overhanging awnings, and a sharper roof pitch. The panels on this roofing type are arranged horizontally, eliminating the need for special “hat-channel” pieces that are required for vertical roofs. The unique A-frame design also makes it particularly suitable for areas with strong winds but may not be the best choice for regions that experience heavy rain or snowfall.
