Trusspedia - Wood Truss Information
Wood trusses are engineered structural components used to support floors and roofs in buildings. Trusses are custom-designed for the building plans and then manufactured in a factory and delivered by a flatbed truck to the building site, where they are hoisted into position using a crane.
Wood trusses can greatly reduce the labour and materials costs of a construction project, when compared with stick framing techniques.
With computer aided design (CAD), wood trusses can offer affordable, flexible solutions to the design problems associated with a specific building project.
The pages in this section of our website provide detailed information about the wood truss industry and terminology.
