  • ROOF TRUSS SYSTEM FOR LONG SPAN AND WIDE SPACING WITH ONE-SIDED ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20100223877
    Abstract: A roof truss and method of assembly. The roof truss of the invention has a first layer of top chord members and a bottom chord, a second layer of web members, and a third layer of top chord members and a bottom chord. The second layer is affixed to the first layer with first layer fasteners and the third layer is affixed to said second layer with second layer fasteners. The first layer fasteners pass through the second layer to engage the first layer from a first side of the roof truss and the second layer fasteners pass through the third layer to engage the second layer from the first side of the roof truss. Therefore, the truss components may be field assembled without having to turn the partially assembled truss. The use of common components and fasteners and the ease of assembly provide an economical alternative to known truss systems.
