We
were aware that this beast with its generously gabled roof would be
pretty tall. Especially on a flatbed. So I worked on some mechanism
that would allow the gabled roof to fold down flat. The question is:
How can you fold down the gables and then the two roof sections without
anything binding?

I
came up with a solution that I liked. The gable end walls are a little
shorter, so the gable ends can fold down without binding the roof
sections.
If
the roof sections themselves are in danger of binding (which I doubt
since their overlap is minimal), the two side roof sections could be
slightly different heights, though this might introduce other problems
or look weird.
