Big truss
-
Just found an old skp of a truss that I made last year, the big one was almost 7 meters wide!
Note the king post is short, this is intentional, when you bolt it together, when this is pulled tight, it puts tension onto the truss, this is what holds it all together and gives it strength!
There are 3 bolts, one on each of the sides, through the tie beam and the purlins, and one directly up through the king post.
These were made from Oak, and weighed a TON!
