Building Features
Gambrel roof steel buildings have a unique structure and design that sets them apart from other types of buildings. You don't see a lot of gambrel buildings, let alone gambrel pole barns, so if you're unfamiliar with their structure, you might have questions about them.
Gambrel pole buildings have a distinctive roofline that is characterized by two slopes. The lower slope is typically steeper than the upper slope, which allows for more vertical space and a more dramatic appearance.
The gambrel design is well-suited for buildings that need to store items that are difficult to stack, such as vehicles or equipment.

Truss Comparison
A gambrel truss may not be the best choice if you're looking for a strong and reliable roof. Technically, it has more disadvantages than advantages compared to a regular roof truss.
The primary benefits of a gambrel truss include the additional space on the second floor of a pole barn and its aesthetic appeal. The flat part of the upper roof can be prone to water pooling, which is a major drawback.
Gambrel trusses have lower integrity in the wind, which means they may not perform as well as regular roof trusses in high winds. If you're looking for added attic space, consider getting an attic truss instead.
A regular roof truss can reach larger sizes than a gambrel truss, which may be a limitation if you need a larger roof.
