roof truss construction

Why should you do that; especially since it is no longer cheaper than a carpenter-style roof frame?

Rhineland regards

That was just an example, I am not fixed on a trussed roof or anything like that. Somehow I actually prefer roof constructions like the one shown in the picture I provided above. Based on your statements, I assume that a trussed roof used to be more cost-effective, but that has more or less evened out now? And a trussed roof costs about the same as such a purlin roof frame?

No, Binderdach is cheaper.

No, a binder roof is cheaper.

Can you give an approximate difference in price? Just so one has an idea. Surely it also depends on the region, but it is meant only as a rough idea. Maybe the difference is so big that it doesn't fit into the budget anymore. We don't want to expand upstairs anyway, but for storage, a purlin roof construction would be much, much better than having all the wooden braces with a binder roof.

okay, my information would be that the purlin roof is more expensive. However, as you already say, it is actually without alternative.

I have never understood why builders find it nice to install a forest of wood under the roof

That is one of the points I only understood when I saw it finished. (No one told me before and since I was not familiar with the truss roof, I was not aware that the roof structure should be questioned.)
