ABSTRACT:
A roof structure is formed with first and second Y-shaped modular construction members. The first construction member is comprised of first, second and third branches of substantially equal length. The second construction member is comprised of fourth, fifth and sixth branches of substantially equal length. The first and fourth branches are coupled together along a common axis to define an apex or ridge of the roof structure. The second, third, fifth and sixth branches are coupled between the apex and respective first, second, third and fourth corners of a rectangular base frame. At least one gable is positioned intermediate the first and second construction members. In one embodiment, an intermediate section of the roof structure is lengthwise adjustable to adjust the length of the roof structure along the aforementioned common axis. The roof structure of the present invention is adapted to accommodate a foldable or inflatable roof cover.
