Purlins support roof structures but rafters support floors and ceilings. Joists transfer their load to walls, and purlins to rafters.
Rafter and purlin sizes depend on load requirements. For purlins (mm): 203 x 79 x 1.9. For timber rafters (mm): 140 x 35.
Roof purlin spacing depends on the load requirements. In Australia, roof purlin spacing is typically between 400mm to 1200mm.
