Abstract

A light-duty structural shed or house with skylights includes walls and a roof supported by a beam, wherein the walls have openings for doors and/or windows, and the roof is constituted of a ridge and two inclined top panels. Each of the inclined top panels has a width that is smaller than an inclined roof face of the shed or house, and the ridge is made of a flexible material that is fixedly connected to the inclined top panels at spaced joining positions. Several propping poles are sheathed across the ridge laterally with respect to the beam at the positions that are staggered between the spaced joining positions. Each of the propping poles is supported over the beam in such a way that a portion of the ridge located at one of the staggered positions between said spaced joining positions is propped up by the propping pole, thus creating a skylight that is substantially triangular in shape.

Claims
