Figures 17a–c. Three sections of roof-supporting constructions in which stability is<br />

based on a tie connecting the house walls. Additional support for the walls has been<br />

created by outer raking posts (c), by posts which take part of the load on the walls (a)<br />

and beams pressing against the walls (b). Together with the tie these beams create a<br />

tension between the supportive elements, thus stabilising the construction (after Schmidt<br />

1981; Clemmensen 1937; Henriksson 1989).<br />
