Blooda Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 A quick one, what's the name of this type of gable, where it extends above the tile line and is generally capped in stone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We call them Skews up here. There may be another English name for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I've never come across a particular word for them in the South - I'd just talk about a parapet gable / gable parapet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on and off a couple of times to fix leaking into the cavity wall. And waste huge amounts of lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
