Container (wood construction)
In carpentry , containers denote :
- the constructive combination of two vertical uprights (stems, posts) with associated horizontal components such as transoms , frames , thresholds or purlins , as is common in traditional half-timbered construction. See also mullion and transom construction in facade construction.
- for the roof structure either
- the composite of a rafter pair ( truss ) to the ceiling joists or collar beam to a stiffening triangle, as in the rafter roof is common (when the rafter pair is visible from the outside, in front of the free gables, it is called free container )
- Roof trusses , which traditionally stand at a distance of 4.5 to 6 m and are designed as hanging or trussing . In the purlin roof, they support the purlins (provided that they are not already resting on supports or internal partition walls) and thus form the main structure of a roof structure. With rafter roofs and especially with collar beam roofs, they often do not carry any permanent loads (since these are already taken up by the rafters "bundle"), but rather serve to stiffen the roof surface in the event of wind and one-sided snow loads, in order to limit the deflection of the roof surface.
