  • Lean-to roof is the simplest type of pitched roof. The pitched roof is also known as a sloping roof. It is the most common roof and is generally regarded as the cheapest alternative for covering structures.
  • This lean-to roof is constructed against an existing wall or another roof. The main use of this roof is for constructing sheds, simple extensions, carports, verandahs; etc. Lean-to roof is used in storage building when any storage building will require additional space than the lean-to roof is constructed with the existing wall.

Additional InformationCouple Roof:

  • couple Roof is the simplest form of the pitched roof.
  • In this roof construction, the common rafters slope upwards from the opposite walls and they meet on a ridge piece in the middle. This form of pitched roof is a pair of rafters acting like two arms pinned at the top and hence it is called couple roof.

  • In collar tie roof, the horizontal tie is raised up from the feet of the rafters to the almost middle of the rafters. This raised-up horizontal tie is known as the collar tie. Collar ties should not be fixed more than one-third or one-half of the rise of the roof up from the wall plate.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
