Definitions:
- roof truss
- A structure to hold up the roof that includes diagonal members to provide support. These are usually (always?) manufactured offsite, rather that fabricated on site.
- attic truss
- similar to a roof truss, but has a rectangular space in the center of the truss to provide usable space.
- rafters
- beams that support the roof, with no internal bracing.
