...v kontextu pultová montovaná hala
Pavel Prudký
pent-roof
Explanation:
at first I thought of "pult" as that there will be sales counters in this newly assembled hall...that would make it "sales" but that seems wrong to me....rather the author may mean pultova in reference to its roof..."pultová střecha" ....and that is a pent roof: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pent roof
(its cousins are the aisle roof, cantilever roof, half-span roof, etc. according to Tech Dic by Elman and Michalicek)
