The support piece attaches to subjacent purlins through the pre-existing covering. The support piece has a generally U-shaped section including a base coopertively shaped for being seated in the corrugation with upper edges of the U-shaped section being folded back horizontally so as to provide two seats for engaging an upper purlin.

The upper purlin is a reversed U-shaped metallic section having side wings. The wings have edges folded back horizontally and outwardly.
