Extra large roof trusses arriving for the latest job near Betws-y-Coed.

Roof trusses are a method of creating a pitched roof that spans a large distance between retaining walls using lightweight timbers. Roof trusses are designed by computers to calculate the anticipated roof weight and consequential stresses in the timbers.

There are several advantages to using roof trusses in addition to their lower cost. Their light weight means the whole house structure can be built more economically. Also, the shape of the truss transmits the forces vertically down through the walls without causing the walls to deflect outward as would be the case if rafters, along, were used.
