Shed roof advantages and disadvantages.

If they get damaged shingles are considerably easier to repair than metal. In the past people used shed roofs exclusively for their garden sheds and garages. Lots of built up snow adds extra weight to the roof that can also cause damage so shedding water and snow more efficiently is a definite advantage. Granted they also get damaged more easily.

Yes shed roofs are cost effective options because of their simplicity. A simple roof to construct but slightly more expensive than the skillion due to the lower slope needing waterproofing. It does shed rain and snow shed more easily with the greater slope. It has a lower profile than the skillion or gable so may be more suitable to some neighborhoods.

Since a shed roof generally has a much steeper slope it usually lets the water roll right down it and over the edge. Shingles have a lower initial cost.
