Christmas lights on intersecting gables
Where one peak passes behind the other
A roof edge that looks continuous from the sidewalk can sit on two different planes. On this Richmond Hill house the forward garage gable stays prominent, while the smaller peak reads behind it. Lighting those visible edges keeps the taller rear roof quiet.
Let the front peaks set the outline
The large garage gable projects towards the driveway, with a smaller gable set back beside it. The lights follow those front edges. The unlit roof behind helps separate the two peaks instead of turning every roof edge into another line.
What should be measured?
Trace each slope with a different colour on a front photograph. Take a second picture from one corner so we can see where a run stops or turns back. A garage-door width alone does not give the length of either sloping edge.
