Pyramid roof
A pyramid roof is a roof shape that is represented by four identical roof surfaces inclined towards each other over a square building cross-section (building with four sides on the same side), which converge in a point, often closed with a tower ball or weather vane . Examples of this are tower roofs.
The pyramid roof is a special case of the tent roof .
