EXAMPLES OF TRUSS CONFIGURATIONS
These are only a few of the hundreds of possibilities. The webbing has been omitted for clarity. A scissor truss will most often have a bottom chord pitch that is one half the pitch of the top chord unless specified otherwise. It is recommended that you obtain a general "fact" booklet about typical truss layout from your local truss manufacturer. These booklets have clear explanations and easy to understand 3-D drawings of how trusses combine to create different roof styles. By studying the drawings you will be able to see where the roof loads will accumulate and how they will be transferred to the structure below.
