There are many different types of trusses that you can purchase from manufacturers and wholesalers that you can use with your construction projects. Some trusses use many different chords that you can string together as pitched and parallel. Unless you are an engineering or architecture expert, you might not know much about the beams, lattices, pratts, posts, king, hip, flat, bow, and truncated trusses that you can use to build bridges, roofs, floors, and homes. By following these guidelines you should be able to find a manufacturer or wholesale supplier that can give you all of the new and used wood and metal truss products and services that you need. When you contact the construction supply company, ask them how long they have been in business. You will want to choose a manufacturer or wholesale distributor with many years of experience because they will be able to help you pick the right plane truss for the space of the construction project that you are working on. Ask them what types of materials they use to make their construction trusses. You might find that some of them only build new wood and metal products, but others can give you a discount for using used materials that can be quite sturdy as long as your roof or bridge is designed correctly and is not expected to carry an extremely large amount of weight. Ask the company for a list of references. This is often the best way to determine if they are really reliable.
