🪚 Fun Fact Friday: Every Truss Is Custom

No two roof trusses are ever exactly alike.
Every one is custom-designed to match your building’s span, load, and geometry — down to the millimeter.

It’s not one-size-fits-all — it’s engineered-to-fit.

🏠 Fun Fact Friday: Roofs Have Load Paths Too!

Every roof has a load path — the invisible route that carries all weight safely down to the foundation.
If one link is weak, the whole structure feels it!

We engineer every component to ensure a continuous, solid load path from roof to ground.

🏗️ Fun Fact Friday: The Power of the Triangle

Triangles are the strongest geometric shape in construction — they evenly distribute weight without changing shape.
That’s why every roof truss starts with one!

Strong. Simple. Smart.

What Are Truss Plates?

🧩 Tiny but mighty.
These steel truss plates are what hold every joint together.
Each one is pressed under tons of pressure so those teeth bite right into the lumber — no nails needed.

Tested. Certified. Stronger than they look.

🏗️ Ever wonder what a truss actually does?
It’s the backbone of your roof — distributing weight evenly so your structure stays strong and stable.

Trusses are built in controlled environments, engineered for precision, and delivered ready to install.

Strong. Straight. Reliable. That’s the Route 66 Truss way. 💪

Build Smarter: Using a Top Chord Drop & Lay-In Gable for Your Hip-Over Frame

When it comes to framing a hip-over design, precision is key.
One of the most efficient ways to achieve a clean, strong connection is by using a top chord drop with a lay-in gable truss.

💡 Here’s why it works:

The top chord drop provides the perfect seat for the overframing members.

The lay-in gable simplifies alignment and fastening, creating a flush surface for sheathing.

This method ensures smooth load transfer and reduces the need for field adjustments.

The result? A faster install, stronger connections, and a professional finish every time.

At Route 66 Truss, our design team custom-engineers each truss system to make complex roof designs simple — and solid.

📐 Whether it’s a hip-over, valley set, or custom roof transition, we’ve got your structure covered.
