| | wide gable / triple-wide gable | Explanation:
If you enter cubierta de 8 aguas en goggle search, you get a text with "8’Wide Gable Techo a dos aguas 8’" www.handyhome.com/PDF/Kidz Klubhouse.pdf
I looked for other wide gable entries with key words such as boat cover and incline, but I don't know what dimensions are exactly "8 aguas", so I don't know if you can put "wide gable" or you need "triple-wide gable"
I hope this helps some. GOod luck!

| Grading comment Many thanks. In the end an architect friend of a friend of my customer suggested fully pitched roof, which seemed to fit in with the context.
