Attic & Gambrel Truss
  • Using attic trusses are a great option for bundling both a room with a floor.
  • They cut down framing time when figuring for a bonus room.
  • Just about any building can be designated with attic trusses and depending on the roof pitch and width of the building the attic room area can vary.
  • There are (3) most common uses:
    • Unihabitable or light storage
      • Typical room size 10-22' wide
      • 20 # LL @ room
    • Habitable
      • Used typically for livable space
      • Typical room size 12-16' wide
      • 40 # LL @ room
    • Hay Storage and/or Gambrel Style/Barn Style
      • Used typically for just that, storage of  hay
      • Typical room size 12-16' wide
      • 90-100 # LL @ room
  • Attic Trusses are great sales tools for customers looking to gain square footage without physically adding more levels to the home
    • For example: bonus room over garages
