Roof supports are commonly referred to as "trusses" or "rafters." Trusses are pre-engineered structures that provide support and stability to the roof, while rafters are individual sloped beams that extend from the ridge or peak of the roof down to the wall plate. Both are essential for distributing the weight of the roof and ensuring its structural integrity.
