DIY ROOF: WHAT ARE PURLINS??

Now all the A-Frames are in, its time for the purlins. These span across the empty space, and are what the rafters will eventually rest on. Very simple beveled ends connect the purlins, with strong mechanical screws fastening them to the diagonal A-Frame beam. Dug out holes in the wall, concreting a pad in for the ends where theres no support. Next week.... the rafters!
