How do you call one part of a pitched roof
The pitched roof consists of two sloping sides that have some angle between them. So how would one call such a side?
I would like to replace side of the roof
in the following sentence with one word:
"There is a chimney on one side of the roof and a dormer on another"
Solution 1:
Side or Slope
A pitched roof has names for many parts, and names for each layer of the roof. The big wide part that would be called a side does not have any more specific name. It is called a side or a slope.
In your sentence:
The roof has a chimney on one side and a dormer on another. The roof has a chimney on one slope and a dormer on another.
