Heavy Timber Log Truss and Log Tie Beams


We design and build custom Log Truss for any project.   Typical we use between 12" and  20" full round Red Pine Logs for our Log Trusses and Tie Beams.   Our Heavy Timber Log Trusses and Beams are air dried for a period of 12 months to ensure a very stable Truss.   Our Log Trusses are designed using blind fasteners with our Trademark Log Joinery.   Our "Trademark Log Truss Design" will have All Log Flared Connections.....  this produces great eye appeal and gives the Log Trusses a truly massive appearance.   

Log Trusses are available in Span Lengths up to 40 foot long and roof pitches up to 12/12    Our Trusses are available in Two versions ( Fully Assembled or Knock Down Models ) and shipped to your location ready to install.    A Fully Assembled Log Truss is just that....fully assembled at our yard and then shipped direct to your site Fully Assembled.   If size allows, we will ship the trusses fully assembled and ready to set.  You can imagine the advantages in having prefabricated Log Trusses delivered and ready to set.  

Our Knock Down Truss Models are assembled at our yard, numbered - disassembled and then shipped to your site.  You will then have to re-assemble the Truss once they arrive at your site.   If size does not allow for shipment of Large Log Trusses and Heavy Timber Trusses..... we can ship the Log Truss members, with the engineered connection systems, for ease of assembly at your building site. 

Our Trusses are available in Two Different Versions...

( Fully Assembled or Knock Down Models )
