The Global Truss F34 is a 4-point truss system. This provides optimum volume and carrying capacity for its construction size and a tube diameter of only 50mm.
In this manner, can roof trusses support a floor?
The reason trusses shouldn’t hold the weight of flooring or heavy boxes is because they are typically made from relatively small boards (2×4’s in some cases) and the bottom board is already carrying a significant roof load because of the design of the angled elements.
Correspondingly, can you store stuff in a truss attic? ANSWER: Your attic is not suitable for storage because the bottom member of a typical truss (referred to as a cord) is not designed to support a storage load, not because of truss movement. The cord is only designed for a dead load of 10 pounds per square foot.
Additionally, how much weight can Global Truss hold?
It provides 18 feet of height and can hold up to 440 pounds.
How much weight can I hang from my garage trusses?
General rule of thumb, you can hang around 5 to 10 pounds of weight from a roof truss. Remember, if you’re planning to build a roof truss for your garage, it’s recommended to hire a structural engineer.
