I need a solution how to make a roof for this

silviubash

The project is a pavillion and the pillars are from wood and are very thin 4 cm diameter 

total of pillars can increase for support of the roof 

pillars are stuck in the ground 

i need to make a roof and i want it horizontal and from wood , and i dont know how to link the pillars between them to put a roof 

i attached the photo with front view and the plan 

i can only use wood

Your precedent is a hair brush.

This is shear lunacy.

the floor is shaping the ground to integrate in landscape, it s not exactly like a brush

Sorry, was making a pun. I believe you'll have some serious slenderness issues with the supports as well as shear issues. I cannot, unfortunately, assist in solving those issues.

Too poorly defined.  What is this roof expected to do?  

If it's structural, your best bet is to study bamboo scalffolding since that is the only skinny wood structure I can think of... but it also needs crossbracing and is temporary.

how stable does it need to be? bamboo is a good start. you will have major lateral issues. look at vornoi patterns or delauney cells or simply draw a radius that ensures latereral supports at tops connect to enough vertical posts and then just drop plywood on top. the tops could be steel rings with hangers for the lateral beams.

Is this a real question, or are you trying to get us to do your homework?

Sounds like an excellent pile of sticks.

I love your little drawings. It's a cool idea. I don't know how to do it, but if everything has to be wood you might take a look at Japanese joinery.

When the sticks work together, they act as a unit. You can break a single stick but not a bundle of sticks. United they stand, divided they fail.

I think the sticks should be painted gold a la trump fashion.

now we are talking physics and material science, strengths of materials, structural analysis.

Nonsense. We are talking politics and finishes.

I'm pretty sure finishes is all about politics. Just ask any inferior decorator.

Structure is political too. This'll never work just because it is metric.

I think you have to consult with the architect who can design your roof as per your requirement.

Be generous with the gaffer tape and simply caulk the seams, that's what I've learnt from studying Shigeru Ban and Frei Otto.

Lash the bamboo poles into long lengths and bend them into hoops and use a fabric covering. The structure type has already proved itself in rain, snow, and very high winds.

I've got nothing to add, I just thought this was funny...
