Introduction 
A timber roof truss is a structural framework designed to span the space above a room and to provide support for a roof.
Trusses occur at regular intervals, linked together with longitudinal timbers such as purlins. The space between each truss is called a bay. A truss looks like a triangle or arch which creates the profile shape of the roof. Trusses are connected together by means of bolts which are passed through toothed plates and strapped together.

The benefits of being able to standardise the qualities and features of a finished product will always maximise efficiencies in the use of materials and their costs.
