As it can be seen, there is a flexure/bending in the center of the roof due to the behavior of the slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal  axis of the element.
So we tried to figure out how to assemble another piece that might help us reduce the flexure of the roof. We tried out 5 different shapes, andeventually chose one.
