| Grading comment I have opted for rooftop structure, as this is what is meant in Dutch in this instance. It does have some Google hits from manufacturers.

In answer to Peter and Jaap, my suggestion was intended as a \"safe\" option because it cannot be criticised.
A \"roof construction\" can be both the method of roof construction, but it can also be a \"construction added to a roof\" so the disagrees are rather unfounded.
