What is the best way to move 37ft wide by over 10ft high king post timber trusses? Well, lets see...

Fork truck will work, notice the 4x4 and the blocking.

Tommy is hiding from the camera AGAIN!

OR if you happen to have a crane or lull, that will work also. You'll need straps as shown.

Meet Lill, she is our Lull. Mike is behind the wheel, Kellin is running the finger. Timbers are Port Orford Cedar from Disdero Lumber Co.

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.

Trusses are trusses...or are they?

One of the funniest things I have heard to date in my position at Vermont Timber Works was from a builder (not naming names) who was unfamiliar with custom timber trusses. His client asked him to call us and inquire about timber trusses for their great room. Something like this I would guess. A beautiful King Post Truss.

Well, he thought trusses like these were just sitting on the shelf, he had no idea they were custom made, hand crafted and sometimes took 3-4 months to get. They are just trusses he said trusses are trusses, what's so special about these? Poor guy. DON'T let this happen to you. Keep in mind a lead time for anything custom and hand crafted, like our trusses.

Timber Trusses for your Great Room...Great Idea!
