Spanish term

tirantes

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Forestry / Wood / Timber pino tratado
Contexto: solo tengo una lista de productos de pino tratado.

En los Kudoz se ha preguntado por tirantes, pero no específicamente de los de madera.

Mis propuestas son "beams" o "rafters" pero no logro darme cuenta de la diferencia entre un término y otro, y saber bien cuál es el que corresponde a tirante.

Desde ya, muchas gracias.
