Why is it masculine?

Techos is masculine because it derives from Latin "tectum" (roof), the neuter past participle of "tegere" (to cover), which became masculine in Spanish as Latin's neuter gender collapsed into the masculine gender during the Romance language evolution. This is a common pattern where Latin neuter nouns adopted masculine gender in Spanish and other Romance languages.
