Oak King Post Trusses

Bespoke design oak king post roof trusses made to order.

King post truss is the most popular truss design in traditional oak framing. King post is a central vertical post, which works in tension to support the tie beam from the truss apex above.


King post trusses come in two principal designs: A fluted king port truss features a shaped king post, which supports the braces. A simple king post truss features a straight central post, where braces can be either parallel to it, added at an angle, or omitted entirely.

All our king trusses are made in Sussex, from s sources of European green oak and require structural engineering approval prior to manufacture. You can purchase structural engineering services through us, or obtain your own. All our trusses feature planed a finish.
