These are metal slats on a slat patio roof. They don’t appear to be meant for this purpose, but they work great and I would like to get some for my own roof. Anyone have an idea what they were originally designed for and where I can buy them?
Thanks for you help.
Looks like a Pasture gate! That photo doesn’t really tell us anything.
Looks like hat channels

They are hat shape channels, and/or furring use for drywall ceiling framing or applied to walls for sound proofing.

I agree, but can’t say where to buy them…sorry. 
Home Depot can get them or a local drywall contractor that buys them wholesale for retail. We have one local.

Exposed metal/steel slats on patio roofs are to defuse sunlight.
You can have the frame manufactured at most iron / steel works manufactures.
Thanks for all the help! I finally found them myself at Home Depot. They’re metal furring strips
