Roof Purling Not Bed Into the Gable Wall?
Roof design and construction can fluctuate depending on architecture, structural needs, and regional practices. Choices like using timber struts to support roof purlins, rather than inserting them into the gable wall, can be dictated by aesthetic design, load-bearing capabilities, construction flexibility, weather-related expansion and contraction, traditional building methods, and ease of installation. Such decisions should be guided by local building codes, environmental conditions, and professional advice from chartered surveyors.
