post (or post and beam) roof


Explanation:
I'll suggest this based on finding for your term several Swe references showing what seems like post supports -- as in
http://www.traguiden.se/tgtemplates/popup1spalt.aspx?id=1296... and
http://www.svedentra.se/system/visa.asp?HID=1289&FID=1110&HS...

There are references to truss designs 'king post', 'queen post' where primary roof support is designated 'post'.

Having said that we can note the field is filled with varied terms for the same thing.
