Wooden Roof – A Plain Guide

Dana Benally October 16, 2021

When you need to build or renovate your wooden roof, there are some concerns that appear, because we are going to talk about a roof that is the main part of a building. It is important to know the main parts of wooden roof to avoid any doubt. Furthermore, you can find more details in this website. Come on?

Wooden-Roof

First, let’s understand the woodwork

Support

Also called the cradle, it is the part that will support the rest of the roof structure. Thus, it is the intermediary between the woodwork and the structural element of the house that will support the roof.

Line

It consists of a horizontal beam that will support all the traction generated by the roof. Thus, it must be extremely resistant and perfectly installed.

Hanging

It is the element located at the very center of the roof opening (called a scissors), which runs from the surface of the lines to the ridge. Its function is also of support, resisting the force exerted by the diagonals.

Gable

Also called the leg, it refers to the sloping parts of the scissors, defining the opening and the trim of the roof.

Diagonal

Also known as the French hand, it connects the leg to the hanger, which in turn connects to the line. Its function is to support the compression of the scissors.

Chock

Its function is to lock the purlins between the rafters and the gables. It is a longitudinal structural element, whose function is to unite the roof shears and receive the load exerted by the rafters, distributing them to the shears.

Rafter

The rafter is responsible for supporting the slats and transferring the loads to the purlins.

Clapboard

The batten is always perpendicular to the rafter, and will be used to support the tiles. Thus, it distributes to the rafters, evenly, the weight that the tile exerts on the structure.
