name that Heavy Timber Truss Design # 1


Did you say King Post? If so, you are right!

King Post Trusses can be the most cost effective, and they look great. Even better when curved braces and webs are used. A king post truss solves some structural problems as well. The bottom chord acts as a tie for the room, holding the walls in. Depending on where you are located a king post roof truss may be able span 24 feet - 36 feet with 16 foot spacing between each one. We size all of our truss members for the exact region where they are being installed and we provide detailed shop drawings with our structural engineer’s stamp. Thanks PJZ.
