![]() The slope of each side has the same pitch but with an asymmetrical peak. A Stub-End Truss, also known as a Bob-Tail, is a gable shaped truss which has been clipped on one end.The Inverted Truss is actually a Howe Truss turned upside down. This type can offer the interior space additional natural light and a vaulted ceiling in part of the space.A Double-Inverted Truss is two inverted trusses which join at the peak which has the advantage of being able to span distances of up to 24m.Attic Trusses are designed to create a space for additional storage or living area while leaving the outward appearance of the shelter.Dual-Pitch Trusses are for gable roofs with differently angled slopes on either side of its peak.The King Post Truss is commonly used in conjunction with two angled struts. The King-Post Truss is the simplest of trusses. It utilizes two rafters, a tie beam, and one central post known as the King Post.The Barrel-Vault Truss uses many small pieces of wood in the frame to achieve an arched ceiling.Multi-Piece Trusses are combination trusses which use a gable design on top of a hip design so that they can be installed in sections which would otherwise be too large.The Half-Scissor Truss is expectedly half of the normal scissor truss design and used in spaces for commerce, industry.Since the design is arched, it means that there is no seam to cover. Bowstring Trusses were originally used in bridge design because they perform particularly well in large open spaces with no supporting columns.The Mono-Pitch Truss design is half of a normal truss design, often used for structures like sheds and lean-tos.Gambrel Trusses are symmetrical, with a double slope and give the roof a barn-like appearance. The gambrel truss is especially practical because it allows for the maximum amount of usable space in the attic.Flat Trusses are very slightly sloped to prevent water from pooling.A Half-Hip Truss has the same structure as the Hip but is cut off halfway.Cambered Trusses arch upwards giving the roof a normally peaked shape while the ceiling the appearance of being curved.Though Scissor Trusses do not need a bearing beam, they still have a load limit greater than many other types of trusses. Also, this type of truss increases the stability of the building.The Double-Howe Truss can span nearly double the length of the single Howe, meaning that it can span up to 18m. ![]() It is relatively rare in home construction. The Howe Truss was originally designed for steel bridges because of its impressive structural strength over long spans.Hip Trusses are more complicated to frame than a some other trusses because of the added complication in framing the hips.Double-W Truss, also known as a double-fink truss can span more than 65% more(16.5m) length than the possible span of a singular(10m) fink truss.These trusses provide support for the rafters and give the roof its rigidity. Fink Trusses are the most common type of truss used in residential structures.
