まま出せるメリットがあるためである。2. Description of the Related Art In a roof using a conventional roof truss, a roof panel is roofed with a roof truss serving as a core material, that is, a longitudinal direction of the roof panel is long. This is because the roof panel is laid in the vertical direction, which has the advantage that the eaves can be exposed.
