The high cost of roofing materials is making make reconsider my options of how to go about roofing my structure. I have already done the parapet but I intend to change the roofing to a hidden roof design. Please I need help on how to make the conversion without demolishing the parapet.ill Also appreciate pictures of similar design.
I will also attach pictures of my structure.
Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, your external wall isn't high enough for a hidden roof design. You need to add another 3 or 4 coaches.

Where should the coaches be added. Is it on top of the parapet?

If I were you, I'd just patiently gather money and continue with the original roof plan, with maybe some compromise on the height of the king post and type of roofing sheet to reduce cost, since you've already done the parapet.

Adding extra coaches, without removing the parapet will not look nice in my opinion, and may lead to water pooling on top of the parapet and cause dampness on the external wall.

I'll like to know ur opinion about converting to slant design.
