What are the pros and cons to building a flat roof instead of a triangle roof on a greenhouse?
Question by Thank You: What are the pros and cons to developing a flat roof rather of a triangle roof on a greenhouse?
my girlfriends developing a little greenhouse for our apartment balcony, and we were thinking it would be easier to build a greenhouse with a flat roof rather of a triangle roof, just like some commercial constructing have flat roofs.
Is there a reason why each greenhouse I’ve ever observed has a triangle roof?

Flat roofs, glass that is, do not reflect sun rays as eficiently as an angled roof. glass. (triangle).

Well it would depend on the kind of material you are using. If it is a soft vinyl/plastic, then it could get ruined by rain. An angled roof lets the water run down the sides easier, while a flat roof can sometimes collect water, making the roof sag down or even burst if it builds up enough.
