Parts Of A Truss Framed Roof

Wood trusses are pre-built components that function as structural support members. A truss commonly employs one or more triangles in its construction. The wood truss configurations illustrated on this chart are a  representative sampling. The number of panels, configuration of webs and length of spans will vary according to given application, building materials and regional conditions. Always refer to an engineered drawing for the actual truss design. To see a detailed picture of a truss click here.
