What types of trusses are available?

	Common
These trusses may be simple span, multiple bearing, or cantilevered. Where the truss height exceeds approximately 3m (10'), a piggyback system (see below) may be needed due to transportation restrictions.
	Mono
This shape may be simple span, multiple span, or cantilevered. Top chord bearing is possible.
	Inverted
The inverted truss is used to provide a vaulted ceiling along a portion of the span.
	Cut-off (Bobtail, Stubend)
This shape may be used where a triangular truss will not fit.
	Dual Slope
This truss provides an asymmetric roof slope.
	Ridge Truss
The ridge truss provides a stepped roof appearance.
	Piggyback
The piggyback truss is a combination of a gable end truss on top of a hip truss, which can be transported in two sections. It is used when a single triangular truss is too large to transport.
	Attic
The attic truss provides useable area within the roof space.
	Flat
The flat truss is used in roofs or floors. It may be designed as top or bottom chord bearing, or for simple or multiple spans. It may also be cantilevered at one or both ends.
	Sloping Flat
This shape is used to create a vaulted ceiling. It may be top or bottom chord bearing.
	Sloping Chord Flat
This shape is used to provide positive drainage to both sides of the building.
	Hip
This shape is used to create hip roofs.
Image not available	Mansard
This truss is used to create a mansard roof profile.
	Scissor
The scissor truss is used to create a vaulted ceiling along the entire span. The slope of the bottom chord is usually equal to 1/2 of the slope of the top chord. Large scissor trusses are often shipped in two pieces and field spliced.
	Half Scissor
The half scissor truss provides a single-sloped vaulted ceiling.
	Gambrel
This truss is used to create a gambrel or barn-shaped roof profile.
