Prefabricated roof truss


Jarousse

Recommended Posts

why not get a decent chippy to put the roof on traditional style (cut and pitch).

being a chippy myself , i would allways avoid trussed roofs, purely for the amount of loft space you lose. whatever loft space is left is practically useless.

personal opinion.

maybe you have no other option ?

Hi Steve, your last posting has left me a bit unsure of what you mean. Surely if the gable walls are 'set in stone' sized, then using a traditional pole roof as against a trussed roof would not gain more roof space. I would have thought that modern stress graded trusses have residuel strength built in during the design and that trad roofs, using bigger timbers would cut down internel size? Most often the pole roofs would have dormers fitted to give more apparent loft space and trussed roofs are for normal roofs, like bungalows or two storey with no conversions planned/allowed. Hugh.
