I'm going to build a garage and to get a higher ceiling height inside, I've planned for scissor trusses, at least in half of the garage.
But in the latest Husdrömmar, I saw that they used a type of truss that I haven't seen before.
What are these called and where can one find more information about sizing, etc.?
I thought they might be interesting because you get the same slope on the inner ceiling as the outer roof.
Although, they do look quite heavy compared to scissor trusses
I think it's not really a truss (the closest would be a scissors truss). It's more of a beam. Were there load points on the framework only or was there something under the ridge?
No, nothing in the ridge. There was a masonry chimney going through the ridge, so nothing could have been added later either. Now I think they said that the width of the room was 4.5 m. I need 7 m, so it will probably be a very cumbersome beam...
