The Timber Truss is a precision crafted truss
designed for strength and visibility. The Timber Truss is built of in
widths of 4x_ through 8x_ material. The
maximum beam depth depends on what a mill will produce. We use Douglas Fir Lumber selected from the best large
log mills on the American West Coast. Our beams are ordered with light to no wane
and free of heart center. We use both rough and surfaced beams to build the Timber Truss.
We also use Glu-Lams for designs requiring arched trusses.
Because the Timber truss is intended for display we
encourage design input from the Architect, Owner and Building Contractor. After
establishing structural minimums your design team can specify beam size, web
configuration, plate style, bolt patterns and bolt size.
The soul of the Timber Truss is our Patented Triple
Grip Connector. We combine bolts, steel plates and gusset plates to create a strong and
effective joint.
We fabricate the Timber Truss for delivery anywhere
on the planet. Height and length restrictions may require your trusses to be unassembled
for transportation then reassembled by your construction crew at the job site for
installation.
