I don't see the problem?

maybe with a man with expeirience like yours u dont see a problem but to a DIYr like meself i like a bit of advice

You're taking the ridge line all the way back to other end presumably? Rather than trying to do a hip at the other end too?

maybe im overthinking this
so
the hip this end that ive drawn is ok ,so ur saying extend the ridge line to the roller door end and that will work ok?what about the step in ?

I can see what the OP is getting at - it's going to be a bit messy - this is the kind of thing I'd suggest:

Unless you want to take the ridge to the other end and have a nice overhang to store your pumpkins under?

Fair enough - my assumption is that it's a stand alone building and he wants to keep the eaves height the same all the way around... more information required from the OP.

Freddies solution is much more sensible if there's something in that notch - like a house?

thanks lads decided to use the notch and extend out over it and put standard pitch roof and build up blocks/stud and pvc under it as a bbq area/or summit like that,thanks for all suggestions
