Rafter
A rafter is one of the sloping beams that form the framework of a roof, running from the ridge to the eaves: The old barn's rafters were still solid after a century.
Rafters are often exposed in rustic or industrial interiors.
Separately, a rafter is a person who travels by raft: We joined a group of rafters on the Colorado River.
