I have not talked to the guy who will build this small shed for me yet, but does a 7’ pointed roof sound around right? I want to be able to stand up in it, and yet

Again, thanks!

7 foot at the top will look balanced but you won't be able to stand up. 7 foot at the walls would be okay.

My neighbor built a small shed, maybe 6x6, with a tall roof, probably 10 feet. It looked funny to me, but he explained he copied a colonial smokehouse and it was actually historically correct. Once explained it looked okay.
My sged is 10X10X 8 ft high with a 15X15 roof skewed to give 4 ft
overhang on 2 sides. This was to provide cover over the entrance,
allow hanging a 15 foot canoe under roof along one side, and provide
storage room in the "loft" The roof is about 5 feet high from eaves to
peak. Looks a bit funny, but hides behind the garage somewhat.
