rafter roof
Here the rafters form a triangle with the attic. The advantage here is that no beams disturb the roof space and the entire interior of the attic can be used.
collar beam roof
The collar beam roof is a variant of the rafter roof. A collar beam connects the opposite rafters in the upper part of the roof as a cross beam. The collar beam acts as a horizontal reinforcement.
purlin roof
Here a purlin is used as a ridge, which is supported by a post. The rafters rest on the purlin. The disadvantage is that the space under the roof is affected by the supporting beams.

FAQ - about rafters
How strong does the roof rafter have to be?
The thickness depends on a number of factors, such as the roof construction, the type of roof, the load on the roof and the insulation. For a carport roof, a width of 6cm may be sufficient, but for a single-family home, the rafters should be much wider. Calculations are necessary to achieve a solid construction.
How much do roof rafters cost?
The prices for roof rafters can vary depending on the manufacturer, quality and type of wood. Unfortunately, wood prices also fluctuate. So please feel free to contact us and we will give you the best possible price.
What are purlins and rafters?
A purlin is a beam in the roof structure that runs parallel to the roof ridge and supports the rafters that extend from the ridge to the eaves. Rafters are the diagonal wooden beams that primarily support the roof. The rafters lie above the purlins. Metal plates or screws are usually used to connect the purlins and rafters.
