Rafter support purlins over purlins covering material comes.

I suppose the roof covering is attached directly to the purlins hence its first initial source of support.

I think purlins support the roof covering.

Tiles are supported by batten, batten is by common rafter, common rafter is by purlin, purlin is by principle rafter, then strut and post.

Answer should batten.
