Types of Oak Truss We Make
We can make any of the following style of truss (we're slowly adding more types to our 3D designer)
King Post Truss

King Post Truss
A kingpost oak truss features a central, vertical post. Our King post European Oak trusses are that grand 'wow' feature of any building. The natural beauty and skilled craftsmanship in our king post oak trusses will prove a major role in creating your dream look you want. It will only be done once so it's important to do it right first time round, knowledge and craftsmanship are vital. You can design your king post trusses on our 3D builder above.
Queen Post Truss

Queen Truss
The queen post oak truss excludes the central post found in the king post. Our queen post oak trusses are another traditional design but can come in many different layouts according to the structural engineer's requirements and also the client's. The queen oak post truss design have been used for centuries and often used when wider spans are required or to even add an additional roof room. Many people today choose a queen post oak truss when requiring another living area upstairs, the positioning off the braces allow you to create a sound structural oak truss as well as having the space in between braces to allow a walk through space in to another living area. You can design your queen post trusses on our 3D builder above.
Raised Tie Truss

Raised Tie Truss
The best way of describing a raised tie truss is to think of the capital letter 'A'.
Raised tie (beam) trusses are essentially a king post truss but with the bottom oak beam higher up, allowing more ceiling space. They are therefore normally used where there's limited head space, or if the overall building height is restricted.
Mono Truss

Mono Truss
Mono trusses are basically half oak trusses are usually used in lean to buildings and smaller side buildings and extensions. With the truss only having one principal rafter and one tie beam the design has to be slightly different by adding in extra braces or support to support the principal rafter.
Cruck Truss

Cruck Truss
Instead of straight primary rafters, the rafters of a cruck truss curve together and meet at the top, giving an elegant, sculpture-like look. Large cruck trusses produce a traditional "grand church roof" style.
Cruck trusses are making something of a comeback in house renovation and new builds for people who want solid oak trusses but aren't a fan of the straight edges found in the more popular king and queen oak trusses.
Arched Truss

Arched Truss
Instead of a straight tie beam, the arched truss sees the bottom tie beam curved, raising in the centre. Arched trusses are very popular in properties with a more rustic, country feel.
