Patent ID: 8590245

Claim:
A roof structure of a building including a banded liner system, the roof structure including first and second rafter beams and an intermediate rafter beam between the first and second rafter beams, wherein a first pair of eave struts extend between and are connected to the first and the intermediate rafter beams and define a first bay, and wherein a second pair of eave struts extend between and are connected to the second and the intermediate rafter beams and define a second bay, the banded liner system comprising: a plurality of first banding strips having opposite distal ends, the distal ends extending between and connected to the rafter beams in each bay; a plurality of second banding strips having opposite distal ends, the distal ends extending between and connected to the eave struts in each bay; a first support sheet supported on the first and second banding strips in the first bay, the first support sheet having a first peripheral edge and a second peripheral edge; and a second support sheet supported on the first and second banding strips in the second bay, the second support sheet having a first peripheral edge and a second peripheral edge; wherein the first peripheral edge of the first support sheet is attached to the first rafter beam, wherein the second peripheral edge of the first support sheet is proximate but not attached to the intermediate rafter beam, wherein the first peripheral edge of the second support sheet is attached to the second rafter beam, wherein the second peripheral edge of the second support sheet is proximate but not attached to the intermediate rafter beam, wherein the second peripheral edge of the first support sheet is attached to the second peripheral edge of the second support sheet to form a seam, wherein the seam is operable to move toward the first rafter beam in response to a force exerted on the first support sheet, and wherein the seam is operable to move toward the second rafter beam in response to a force exerted on the second support sheet.
