A-frame Explanation: As simple as that. It is a simple form of construction in which the demarcation between wall and roof is not clear. The sloping roof extends all the way to the bottom. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2014-02-11 14:38:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, that kind of frame itself is used in many other applications. A sawhorse, for instance, consists of two A-frames joined by one or more lengths of wood. The key is that the frame looks like the letter A. |
