Note To Others

Mansards kind of look like the mellowed out version of Pizza Hut roofs. I'll try to upload a photo later. Karmafist 15:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Not sure

As far as I'm aware masard roofs don't have to be hipped - they can have (dutch) gable ends - what's important is that the pitch of the roof changes as it approaches the ridge. I'll amend this if there's no objections here. --Mcginnly | Natter 14:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Here's an example (I'll try to find a picture in the commons) but this will illustrate my argument for now. http://www.dengamleby.dk/mansardsmed2.htm --Mcginnly | Natter 14:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
