Below are the Log Trusses for Rick Murphy's New Home in Arizona
Here is our "Knock Down Model" Log Truss
The Roof System will be a Log Truss System with 7/12 Pitch Trusses & Log Purlins
( Log Truss spans for the new home will range from 26 ' up to 38' )
|
Log Species: Engelmann Spruce Timber Grade: Select Structural |
Notes: Due the the size and specs of this Truss Project, we'll use our Knock Down Model Truss Version. We assemble the Log Trusses at our yard, then numbered - disassembled and then shipped to the site. They will have to be re-assembled once they arrive at the job site.
The Timbers Being used for this project are Engelmann Spruce
They have been (aged on the stump) and come from Dead-Standing Trees
We do the Rough Machine Peeling in the woods.....When done we start the milling process at our log yard
(Photo Left) shows the 38' Timbers that will become the bottom cord clear span....
Cutting the Top Cord Log Rafters for the Log Trusses .....
This will be where the Log Purlins will be attached on the project later...
Photo shows the size of the timbers being used for this Truss project....
Next we do the angle cutting and install our " Western Flair "
This is were the connection points of the Log members meet and are Bolted Together later...
The " Western Flair "areas are reduced to a 10"x 8" square timber area.....
This allows a flat contact point for the Log members and an assembly area for the Steel Gusset Plates
After the Log cutting is done.....we start the peeling process on the Logs
( Stacked upside down ) This is the top cord Log Rafters used in the Truss Assembly
Cutting & Peeling the Bottom Cord Truss Members.... 38 foot long Logs
These are used for the bottom cord clear span members...
The Truss Assembly...
This Truss design requires a metal gusset plate to be installed at the Log connection points...
This metal gusset plate is custom made to meet the correct angles on the truss design....
A thru bolt system will be used to make the connections....
Notice our " Western Flair " at the intersecting Log Connections...
This also makes the truss Look Amazing once installed on the Roof System.....
This will give the Home a Lifetime of Viewing Pleasure...
This is our Knock Down Model Truss Version
In short....We custom build the Log Trusses at our Log yard, then disassembled & ship them to the site.
The trusses will have to be re-assembled once they arrive at the job site.

( Ready to be shipped to the project site )
We assemble the Log Trusses at our yard, then numbered - disassembled and ship to the site.
The Truss will have to be re-assembled once they arrive at the job site.
Notes: Each Truss will be bunked and labeled separate with all the timber parts cut to the correct size....
A semi truck is then Loaded with our Knock Down Model Trusses
The Next Stop......the Trusses are delivered to Job Site in Arizona...
