Most customers asking for a Heavy Timber Truss are seeking a Decorative truss because of its hand crafted, exposed beam appearance. Hence all of our trusses are Decorative. The design of a particular building or structure in which the truss is located will determine whether or not the truss is also Structural.

A Structural timber truss requires engineering certification by the customer or SWC. We provide this service if required. The customer needs to provide building plans or sufficient detail regarding the roof configuration for our engineer to make roof load assumptions and check the truss for structural integrity. In many cases the customer’s timber truss plans are already detailed and certified by an engineer. In this instance, we may proceed with fabrication based on the customer’s certification.

Types of trusses:
