straight slender

WHAT IS A ROOF TRUSS?
Roof trusses are frames made up of timber that
is nailed, bolted or pegged together to form
structurally interdependent shapes of great
strength. Never remove, modify or cut into a
roof truss without consulting a Structural
Engineer: your roof could fall down!
Roof trusses have to withstand the weight of
the roof timbers and coverings (the ‘Dead
Load’), plus a factor for your local Wind Load,
plus a factor for your local Snow Load, plus a
Safety Factor.
