The sloped roof comprising two rafters disposed slant and extending substantially coplanar with each other, each rafter including a rafter gutter extending longitudinally thereof; two purlins each extending between the rafters to thus provide a plurality of openings, each purlin including a purlin gutter extending longitudinally thereof; a plurality of glazing panels fitted into the openings; and means for joining lower ends of the rafters to the horizontal upper surface of the support structure. The lower ends of the rafter gutters are exposed over the trough so that rain infiltrated into the sloped roof and water condensed on the underside of the glazing panels can be drained smoothly into the trough.
