Roll of roof metal structure
 

This part is the upper structure of the roll of roof, it's slide into two rails for the roof opening and closing. By the end of 2007 I’ll plan to motorised it and control it with a computer. Unlike the main part, the sliding part has not strong wood structure. That’s why I built a metal structure to support it. This structure consists of ten squares tubes fixed to each other. To be sure that’s the fixed roof part can support the weight of the metal structure, its charge is put on the two main beams.
