HOW TO SUCCESSFULLYORDER TRUSSES

BOTH YOU AS THE CUSTOMER AND USAS THE COMPANY WILL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION

TO DETAIL AND COMMUNICATE IT AS NEITHER OF USCAN READ EACH OTHER'S THOUGHTS.

WHY WE NEED CUSTOMER INFORMATION

So when you call back to place the order,we have all the information from when we quote the job.

Your phone number and email address are neededto communicate with you through the project.

LOCATION OF BUILDING SITE AND TYPE OF BUILDING

Location is important for truss loading information, such as snow and wind,along with knowing where we will be delivering to.

By knowing the function of the building, we can usually figure outwhich building code and design perimeters will be needed.

BUILDING LAYOUT

If you tell us the size of your building and the truss spacing (distance betweentrusses), our program takes care of how many trusses you will need.

TYPES OF TRUSSES

Basically we will be asking if you need any gable trusses or notand if so, the amount.

ROOF PITCH

Roof pitch is the slope or angle of the roof.

6/12 roof pitch:6 inches of rise in 12 horizontal inches.

12/12 roof pitch:12 inches of rise in 12 inches of run or we could say

a 45 degree angle for another reference.

OVERHANG

Overhang (or a tail), is the distance from the end of the bottom cordor wall to the end of the top cord or distance away from the wall.

TRUSS LOADING

Regular residential loading covers standard decking and shinglesor metal along with a sheetrock ceiling.

MATCHING EXISTING ROOFS (VERY IMPORTANT!)

We will have to know the exact span of the truss, the heel height and the total heightof the truss at the middle or a very accurate measurement of the roof pitch.
