The structure of a roof forms the backbone of the attic. There are several types and the subject can quickly become complex.
There is a distinction between traditional and timber-trusses. Traditional trusses are fixed constructions, where all parts, like purlins and rafters, support the ridge pole. Their main purpose is to provide a usable volume in the middle of the roof, which allows, if desired, the development of the attic.
Designed to withstand the weight of roof tiles, winds and snow, the roof is a well studied structure, based on precise calculations as to withstand time. Therefore, you should be aware that each element has an important function in the structure. Removing or moving one element endangers the whole structure and thus the entire house.
