Hi Michael,
i have attached a few images which should show it in a bit more detail. The roof runs on 8 rollers each have a load capacity of 85 kgs, not that the roof weighs anywhere near that (my guess would be around 80 - 100 kgs in total) but more to ensure the weight is distributed. the rails are made of 2, 90x45 beams with a notch cut out then glued and screwed together to make a 90x90 beam with a channel. at the moment it runs directly on the timber, i am going to keep an eye on it and if need be i will line it with metal.

I would be interested to see what you used for your rollers and channel for the roof.
Got any more pictures?
