    Cross section diagram of standard strut channel. Basic strut channel comes in the open box section 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in (41 mm) square. A half height 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in × 13 ⁄ 16 in (41 mm × 21 mm) version is also available, used mostly where mounted directly to a wall as it has significantly less stiffness and ability to carry loads across an open space or brace.

  8. Purlin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlin

    A purlin (or historically purline, purloyne, purling, perling) is a longitudinal, horizontal, structural member in a roof. In traditional timber framing there are three basic types of purlin: purlin plate, principal purlin, and common purlin. Purlins also appear in steel frame construction. Steel purlins may be painted or greased for protection ...
