Overview

A pediment is the triangular wall piece that closes the gable end of a sloped roof in Windrose's base-building system. Pediment (Straw) 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.

Building Set

This piece belongs to the Straw 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.

Related pieces in the same family across sets: Pediment (Straw), Roof Pediment (Straw), Large Pediment (Reed), and the larger Triangular Wall (Clay) which serves the same purpose for unsloped triangular openings.

Snap and Placement

Pediment (Straw) 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.

Related Roofing Pieces

Because Pediment (Straw) only closes the gable, you still need the matching roof slopes and triangular walls to finish the structure. The pieces below come from the same straw and triangular-wall plan line and snap against the pediment:
