Roof Truss

A roof truss is defined as a pre-engineered structural framework of interconnected triangular units designed to support the roof load and span the width of the building without interior load-bearing walls. Trusses are manufactured off-site to precise specifications and installed as complete units, replacing traditional stick-framed rafter systems in most modern residential construction. Standard residential trusses are spaced 24 inches on center and are engineered to meet local snow load, wind load, and dead load requirements.
