Beam
This horizontal piece of wood or steel gives support to a home's architecture
A beam is a long, horizontal structural piece that transfers and supports weight above it, namely a squared piece of timber or engineered lumber or a steel girder.
The beams of this room have mortise holes where other beams once connected with tenons.
Steel can rust as quickly as overnight. A primer was applied to these steel beams, giving them their blackened appearance.
Steel girders create this wall opening. The posts are vertical and the beam is horizontal.
Two steel beams support the transparent roof material of this covered walkway.
