Roof struts support underpurlins in your roof which in turn support the rafters that your roof covering is nail or screwed to. Therefore it is important that struts are in place to transfer the load of the underpurlin to the foundation of the house.
All to often we see that struts are missing from the roof structure as can be seen in the photo below. When these struts are missing the rafters can fail and cause sagging or total collapse in your roof line.
