1818 Overview
1919  
2020 A pediment is the triangular wall piece that closes the gable end of a sloped roof in Windrose's base-building system. Large Pediment (Reed) fills the triangular gap left between two roof slopes when a building has a pitched roof rather than a flat one. Without it, the gable end is open and the interior is exposed to weather, sightlines, and (cosmetically) looks unfinished.

2222 The large size spans the full width of a wide building, where the smaller Pediment (Straw) closes a single-bay gable. Because it is built from Wood and Plant Fiber, it is one of the cheapest roof-finishing pieces and can be raised early, well before a base has access to clay or tile sets.

2626 This piece belongs to the Reed building set. It pairs visually and structurally with the matching roof slope of the same set, snapping into the triangular gap formed when the roof meets the gable wall.

3333 Snap and Placement
3434  
3535 Large Pediment (Reed) snaps into the triangular slot under a matching roof slope. Most pediments include the natural angle of the roof in their geometry, so they will only fit where the slope geometry agrees. On a steep reed pitch, a steep pediment is required; on the shallow straw silhouette, the matching shallow pediment fits.

3737 Build the wall box first, then the roof slopes, then drop the pediment into the open gable. If the piece refuses to snap, the most common cause is a roof angle that does not match the reed set, or a wall height that leaves no triangular gap to fill.
