after ten videos of super proud builders, over explaining, I finally found this simple to the point gold nugget‼
I am preparing for a remodel of a 1974 home that has 2x6 truss contrsuction using common truss design. Inspectors who are unskilled in this design see it as faulty or 'missing' support. I wanted to add additional support and your video makes the design choses for additional bracing very easy to understand. I can now plan a Queen Truss design with alternating King Trusses. Thanks Brice!
Learning these basic types of trusses is very helpful to many people. Thanks for this!
Scott,
Thanks for the comment. I did not include a shed roof in the video mainly due to the loads that are place on it. A shed roof does not exert any outward thrust at the top and bottom and thus it is not a true truss, it is similar to adding a structural ridge, king post and common rafters.
In regards to the 30' span, it is possible to either free span it with large timbers( not recommended) or have a mid span plate to divide up the loads.
Hope this helps.

An unusually clear and straightforward explanation of trusses. Thanks. I have a double carport and I want to take out the central post (3 posts on either side and 3 down the middle) and have been checking out trusses. Of all the vids I've seen this is the best. Simple yes, but an excellent start.
Cheers.

Like the hammer beam. I've saw that used in alot of medieval great halls
Because of your website I went to Hearthwood , with Will Beemer, Dave and Jack as instructors . Thank you !
Great to hear, great place and mentors to have!
In the program that created the renderings I did use pine but they can be built using a wide variety of timber species depending on where you are are in the world.

Excellent timber truss video Timber Frame HQ - always well done.
Great video, thank you for posting. However, I noticed that there was no truss for a shed roof design; is there such a truss... say one that can span 30 feet.
Thanks!
Thank you for the reply, I have a very specific building in mind (two shed roofed buildings facing each other with an opened center area with a roof). It sounds as if it may be undoable using timber framing.
Thanks again for the reply.
This was a great vid and it was super helpful for me!
If i build 10 A frames 6 by 6 meters with no kind of support in between just connected with metal corners and if i raise them one after another and connect them with particle boards on top,
1. will this metal corners join strong enough the timber frames ? and
2. Will the particle board hold enough the frames together ?
What is the strength of the frames? And what are the chances that the cabin might fall appart with such simpleness of construction?
The project is meant to be as simple as possible.
Which timber frame would be best to have over the top of my sawmill? The frame would be used as support for a crane to move logs weighing up to 5,000lbs. I have red oak available to make the fram with.....
many thanks for the info.
Hard to say exactly without know the span and the pitch of the roof but if possible stick with the common truss and a large bent girt. With that amount of load I would certainly recommend you get a engineer to do a little math before you put it up.
Super Helpful
Thanks a bunch.
Cheers,
Brice
thanks
Are these trusses made out of pine?
what about for a lean to frame???
You might want to consider steel. The rail for the crane will be steel, and the connections will be easier to make. Additionally, when the crane stops, it sends an 'impact load' into the structure. Steel easily receives these repetitive loads. Wood is not as forgiving.
"...one strut on either side."
This video did not include an accurate depiction of the hammerbeam truss. Here's a better example: www.vermonttimberworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/timber-trusses-hammer-beam.jpg Notice the use of arches instead of just queen posts and straight angle braces. The arches provide maximum strength and maximum amount of open space as it eliminates the need for interior rows of support columns, and can span greater distances than any other timber roof.
I disagree, David, the video does have an accurate hammer beam truss, the image you refer to is also is a variant on the design. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@timberframehq The provided picture is more historically accurate, as the hammer beam was developed in the late middle ages for the roofs of great halls. Using straight angle braces in a hammerbeam roof is a modern, weaker version.
Thanks for the information. Always something new to learn. Will do some research to learn more.
Why do you have the rafters sitting on the bent? Where is the plate?
somebody please help me how i learn about it..?!
Agus Susanto Take timber framing class. It s a fantastic world and even better if you learn the skills by hand (chisels etc) and not machine
I was looking for timber frame busses and somehow got here instead :(
