A timber roof truss is a structural framework of timbers designed to bridge the space above a room and to provide support for a roof. For larger spans and thinner walls this can topple the walls. Pairs of opposing rafters were thus initially tied together by a horizontal tie.

In a nutshell it s made up of a central vertical post called the king post two rafters meeting at the apex and a tie beam or the horizontal base. Roof panels 3 8 1 roof panel connections 3 9. Flat roof joist and decking. Rafters have a tendency to flatten under gravity thrusting outwards on the walls.

There is a hierarchy of timber framing at work here with trusses supporting the ridge and purlin beams. To ensure that the expected performance is achieved it is imperative that all relevant parties are familiar with the requirements set out in this document. The space between each truss is known as a bay. The king post roof truss is the simplest of the trusses because of its simple composition.

The steeper the roof the more expensive the trusses get because the longer the boards get and the more roof area increases. Trusses usually occur at regular intervals linked by longitudinal timbers such as purlins. Above these components is a rack of common rafters. The timber roof trusses you are about to install have been manufactured to engineering standards.

It is often used in simple roof trusses such as in the shed porch and garage. A timber frame truss roof with ridge beam purlins and common rafters is a stunning combination that creates visual interest and structural complexity. To ensure that the trusses perform it is essential that they be handled erected and braced correctly. Truss at right angles to each other at separating wall 3 6.

Timber roof trusses are engineered and manufactured to an exacting standard which require special handling erection and bracing techniques. Rafters 3 7 1 rafters on floor deck 3 7 2 rafters on dwarf wall 3 8. Truss perpendicular to separating wall 3 5 4. You will also incur additional costs because it is much harder to deck and shingle a roof that is 12 12 pitch versus a 4 12 roof.

This is the distance between trusses. Truss parallel to separating wall 3 5 3. Log timber truss works has developed a superior fabrication system to ensure timber frame trusses and our log truss manufacturing systems meet local regulatory design requirements as well as customer design requirements and.
