Well we have been lucky with the rain to date but that can’t last forever and it will be great to get the roof on and provide some much needed shade for the crew.
Above, Elliot, Troy Steve n (Left to right) complete a truss assembly before it is lifted into place.
Up she goes. Main truss sections can be pre-engineered, fabricated and delivered to site or in some cases hand built on-site. Pre-engineered trusses are available locally from the Cox Lumber and A.L.Thompson truss plants.
A good day’s work has been accomplished today as two of the main roof sections are now in place. You can see that pre-engineered trusses can greatly speed up the assembly of a roof structural system. Remember that if you want storage areas within the roof space this must be planned when the trusses are being designed!
