PEB frame type
Mono-slope frame
One roof plane falling from a high column line to a low one, with no interior columns. Simple to build and easy to place against a boundary or an existing building.
Overview
What is a mono-slope frame?
A rigid frame whose rafter runs in one direction only, from the top of a tall column to the top of a shorter one. All roof water drains to the low side.
The single plane gives a clean modern look, keeps the high wall on one side for signage or clerestory light, and lets the building sit tight against a boundary, a road or another building.
Uses
When this frame fits
Narrow plots and boundaries
Rainwater falls away from the neighbour or the road, and the low side can sit on the boundary.
Side extensions
Added along an existing building, draining away from it.
Small units and shops
Workshops, retail units and showrooms with a high front facade.
One-direction roofs
A single roof plane can face the direction you choose, for example for solar panels.
Design
What our engineers check
- 01
Gutter on the low side
All roof water reaches one gutter, so gutter and downpipes are sized for the full roof area.
- 02
High-side wall
The tall column line carries more wind on its wall; girts and bracing are designed for it.
- 03
Wind uplift
A single roof plane is checked for uplift at edges and corners.
- 04
Future growth
Where the building may be extended later, we plan which side the new bays will join.

FAQ
Questions Thai clients ask us
How wide can a mono-slope building be?
It depends on height, slope and loads. As the width grows, the high side gets taller; for wide buildings a gable or multi-span frame is often more economical. We size it for your project.
Can a mono-slope frame be built next to my existing factory?
Yes. Send us the existing building’s height and gutter level so the new roof drains away from it.
Not sure which frame suits your building?
Send us your building size and use. Our engineers propose the frame type, steel weight and a CIF/DDP price for your site in Thailand.
