Editing Gable (section)

==Drawbacks==
{{Original research|section|date=August 2015}}

Winds blowing against the gable end can exert tremendous pressure, both on the gable and on the roof edges where they overhang it, causing the roof to peel off and the gable to cave in.<ref>[http://www.gov.bm/portal/server.pt/gateway/PTARGS_0_0_1666_0_0_43/http;/ptpublisher.gov.bm;7087/publishedcontent/publish/ministry_of_environment/environmental_protection/dept___environmental_protection___hurrican_fabian_roof_damage_report/articles/hurricane_fabian_roof_damage_report_3.pdf#page=5 "Roof damage by hurricane force winds in Bermuda"].
