Sporenkap

A rafter roof is a roof structure where the rafters run directly from the wall plate to the ridge, without load-bearing purlins. It is a fairly open and light structure that is common in post-war and modern homes.

Characteristic

A rafter roof has a recognizable regular pattern of sloping beams. With a dormer, a few rafters are interrupted; these are supported by sleepers and a trimmer construction, often simpler than in a purlin roof.
